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!

After facing online scrutiny, the Tennessee Federation of Republican Women has taken steps to remove a reading list for children from its website that referenced Adolf Hitler as an example of leadership.

"Hitler and all intelligent leaders throughout history have understood that the way to change a country was through the training of its youth, to get them while they are young," the organization's reading list said.

On its website, the organization has a photograph of the Israeli flag and touts its support for the country.

They don’t actually like Jews at all. They support Israel because they want to bring about Armageddon, after which a third of Jews are thrown into a lake of fire.

Israel also legitimizes apartheid ethnostates.

Israel does have big “go back to where you came from” energy

I just wanted to highlight the relevant parts in a photo for no particular reason. Please don't share this.

I would just like to point out that the Tennessee Federation of Republican Women posted an online statement stating “Hitler and all intelligent leaders throughout history have understood that the way to change a country was through the training of its youth, to get them while they are young.”

It seems like the sort of thing that should be in text as well as screenshots just so we can help out any future web crawlers coming through these parts.

Apologies, federation must be broken. Did you say anything about Tennessee Federation of Republican Women posted an online statement stating “Hitler and all intelligent leaders throughout history have understood that the way to change a country was through the training of its youth, to get them while they are young.”?

I think it's important to note that Tennessee Federation of Republican Women posted the statement "Hitler and all intelligent leaders throughout history have understood that the way to change a country was through the training of its youth, to get them while they are young.” in March 2024.

"Patriotism is in decline" so instead of addressing the root of the issue and stop moving the country to the fascist right let's indoctrinate the kids. Maybe we can have an executive order to help do that. And call it the "stop indoctrinating our kids" or something like that. It's not like anyone will see the irony of naming it literally the exact opposite of what it's doing.

Fuck this dystopic administration.

Erasing from the page, but not from their hearts.

Gone but not forgotten.

This is honestly hilarious... A literal history full of leaders and they went to Hitler first.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

At first I thought, are they separating him from "intelligent leaders" ?

But no, they could have just left him out.

Fucking Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

get them while they are young

Republicans are perverts, and if you vote republican, you support perverts. If you choose not to vote, you enable perverts. Cry all you want, you’re digging a hole.

Imagine believing that nazism and zionism are incompatible.

Literal Nazi shit. Yet another example of how the GOP has gone full mask off.

Edit: Nice username. The Dude abides, man.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Republicans are fucking morons.
