Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Trump, again, played the god card. Affirming his divine and righteous purpose.*

* god put him here because he's the Antichrist. A fucking demon. There are no angels left.

I'm still unconvinced of any God's existence, let alone the Abrahamic God.

But if I did, I'd believe with 100% certainty that this man is the antichrist.

I can't remember the website, but awhile back someone made a blog post that draws parallels between the Bible and real life to show that DT is the antichrist, and as someone who's read it cover to cover, it's creepy how much matches up directly, and how much more could fit a general aspect.

By general aspect I mean like how you could see someone 500-2,000 years ago describing an A-10 Warthog (with the stereotypical angry face painted on the side) as a screeching bird of prey with the head of a lion that spits fire and thunder from its mouth.

Enough fits. Even if you don't believe in an antichrist, the fact that so much lines up with the LITERAL worst possible being on earth should be alarming.

This video explains it well:

Basically Trump is a very American person, stemming from a very American history and culture.

He's not an ideal, he's not what they want American history and culture to have been. He's a product of what it actually has been.

America is a shit hole. Who could argue at this point?

[–] rickdg 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

‘member when Americans apologised to the world for re-electing Bush?

Yeah. They didn’t mean it.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

To be fair, the Americans doing the apologizing probably did, the ones that liked having Bush wouldn't have apologized in the first place?

We are a nation of sad small scared people. Machiavelli was right.

one only has to step outside and walk among the people out there to see how simple their view of life is. reading about it doesnt have the same effect and watching it on video is a scripted mess.
