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!

He can’t even hold the Bible right side up. SMH.
My mother has posted multiple times how god can even use a donkey and that the man doesn’t have to be perfect for god to use him. She’s completely hand waved away the fact that trump is a paragon of the anti-Christ because ‘god can use anyone’. She’s also convinced that all the conflict in the US is just signs of the times that the second coming is imminent.
Evangelicals literally don’t care what trump has done or will do. Trump was right that he could shoot someone in the head in the middle of the street and his supporters wouldn’t care.
I genuinely believe there is a disturbingly substantial portion of the right wing that scientifically recognizes the threat posed by the climate crisis but believes it's just God's instrument for the end times, so not only is it not a problem but it's actually a good thing to perpetuate.
I had a chick tract with that exact message left on my car recently, it was very disturbing. The tract’s solution to global warming was war in Israel so Armageddon happens and we all get raptured away from this trashed planet. I didn’t keep it, but I found a copy on their site. I am sharing an archive link because I don’t want them getting more traffic and thinking they need to print even more of these.
