Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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!

i look forward to witnessing every detail of these gullible fuck trump voters coming to the realization that trump actually fucking hates them, and it's NOT in fact the mexicans' fault that their lives are shit
We moved back to Ohio recently (born there then moved out to California for over a decade for work and now back to Ohio so we can be near family). The amount of fucking shacks festooned with trump shit is wild. Doesn’t really seem like he did so great for you the first time Cletus, given that you live in a rundown shanty in the middle of one of the cheapest places to buy land and real estate…
My favorite though is there is some sort of steel recycler / wholesaler. His sign cycles between his business name the cost for a ton of steel and “you’re fired! trump 2024.”
I can not wait for the tariffs to absolutely destroy his business and for that reader board to say “thank you for 27 years of business”
I’m a pretty well off leftist, so now I guess I’ll sit back and watch these poor rubes get fucked. It’s the only solace left.
I come from a family of Mexicans who are all Trump supporters. In this case it is the Mexicans fault too. If I recall Trump support among Hispanics is some of the highest in Republican history with 45% of Hispanics voting for Trump.
This is all tongue in cheek of course. They’re all too stupid to realize what can, and likely will, happen to them.
Yeah, he polled highly among Hispanics in 2020, too. I legitimately do not understand it.
guessing they fall into one of two main camps...
good catholics voting against women's rights and perhaps not understanding the other things that go along with voting that way, and 'got mine, fuck you' aimed squarely at others following behind them, legally or not.
It's stupidity and racism
Ive lived in California my whole life and have known many illegal immigrants and their families
The second most racist group of people I've ever fucking met are Mexican immigrants (legal or not) already here who think the ones who haven't come here for whatever reason are "empty headed wetback rapists who make us all look bad, that's why we're here!" (their words almost exactly)
Pointed out to one guy I knew in 2016 that if the wall was what he wanted then he and his family wouldn't even fucking be here and he responded with "we were smart enough to get here before the wall!"
These are the same morons who will call someone born there but raised here "unpure" as well so you can kinda tell they're not the best of people already
In part, this is how "whiteness" works in the US. Once an immigrant community becomes established enough, they start to believe that licking the boot will finally grant them that status they crave.
"It's the other ones that are a problem. He gets it."
If they were capable of drawing obvious conclusions, they wouldn't be Trump voters.
