No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Eh, I suspect that the misogyny that the GOP is infested with would make it pretty low brow, but might avoid some of the specifics by Haley herself.
Things have gone off the rails, and until/unless the GOP purges the extremists from its ranks, we won't see a campaign that doesn't end up with the kind of absurd nastiness that trump brought about.
Mind you, there has always been a low brow element in American politics, it just wasn't as visible until the internet came around. Trump is just the jackass that completely ignored civility and gave permission for the worst elements to throw off their disguises and spew their worst.
I can remember being in jr high and hearing idiot kids calling each other dummycrats and republibums. This was in the eighties. None of them were smart enough to have come up with that by themselves (despite how stupid it is, these were utter morons), so they had to have picked it up somewhere, which was probably from relatives, and probably older relatives. So the brainless stuff is at least as old as me, and I was born in the seventies.
It is very hard to get the worms back into the can once spilled. People get a taste of not having to filter their thoughts, they tend to not be willing to go back. Which isn't limited to politics, btw.
