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!

Terrorists.
The U.S. version of al-Qaeda sleeper cells.
They are cowards after all. It's time we start hunting MAGA boomers and beating them in the streets.
...beating them in the ballot booth.
That's what you meant, right?
I mean... I agree violence isn't the answer, but neither is the ballot booth. We did that in 2020 and it changed absolutely nothing about them.
I kinda think they're a lost cause as far as external influence. They need to "find the plot" again on their own because to them everything that confronts their beliefs are just "communist lies. Fake news. Liberal blah blah blah..."
Oh, definitely. Most of them are so thoroughly brainwashed by a steady, decades-long diet of objectively, factually incorrect garbage spewed by the Fox infotainment channel (I refuse to call it "news"), it would take professional deprogramming to break them out.
Every time reality intrudes on their fantasies - Hillary doesn't get indicted, COVID-19 doesn't vanish in the spring, the "storm" doesn't manifest, JFK doesn't come back from the dead, Trump actually leaves the White House, etc. - it leaves them in a state of shock, followed by the irresistible urge to double down even harder.
You don't bring people back from that, at least not en masse. You just consistently, continuously beat them during elections, depriving them of their ability to force their bizarre worldviews on others.
And, bluntly, you wait for them to die off. They catch COVID-19 at high rates, most of them are boomers, and because they're dying faster than the national average, the Republican party is actually shrinking. The oldest boomers are approaching 80, and it won't be long before we start seeing some serious demographic shifts because of that.
