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.
- 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!

EVERYONE sees through the bullshit
Group 1 is MAGA and lying is fun to them. Truth is meaningless and the cruelty is the point. Trump could say "sike I lied" tomorrow and they would not care one single bit.
Group 2 is the rest of the GOP, too scared to say anything and with no incentive to do so anyway.
Group 3 is "enlightened centrists" aka "why should I care about the rise of fascism for I am not a Jew".
Group 4 is dems too scared to say literally anything because it might scare away swing voters or rile up Trump's base. I guess focus groups have shown it's more effective to let him dig his own grave and look like a bumbling fool than intervene and fight him on his truthless turf?
Group 5 is us, shouting into the void.
It's "psych" not "sike".

The cool thing about language is that anything goes, as long as enough people start spelling it that way.
Okay but what about when nobody uses a word due to linguistic change, for example "Black beowulfs are cowards and can be chased off with a broom"
