2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

trump may be done after this but I don't think MAGA is going anywhere.

Yeah, people have said this after many elections, and it's never true because there are only two parties, so neither one will ever go away so long as we maintain a two party system.

He's a Trumpian style candidate

*Some talking head in the future

We will never be rid of this style of ass hat.

Considering the civil war did not end the idea of the confederation you are probably right.

True, but from what I see, no one seems to love the others nearly as much as Trump for some weird reason. Every other evil person they throw up there doesn't seem to get the same attention, thankfully. I hope it stays that way...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I think that will change in the absence of Trump as a candidate, especially if he throws his weight behind one of his kids.

This is kinda a natural result of authoritarian structures going back millennia. It's a big king of the hill game, because nobody up top is really in it for the movement, they're in it for themselves.

I would point to the old monarchies of Europe as an excellent example of this all playing out though, with a huge number of individual data points to work with.

Avoiding this whole mess is one of the primary purposes of democratic forms of government.
