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!

Simple enough:
Religion primed them to believe nonsense while removing their ability to parse fact from fiction. So now they're both rubes and willing targets for any grifter that has the right blend of charisma and hate that they associate with their religious upbringing.
It's no great achievement to believe facts. Believing flagrant bullshit takes far more effort, and therefore can be used as a sign of loyalty.
Anyway, they're too stupid to tell truth from lies.
So most of ivermectin followers came from Rogan being an unintelligentual influencer with followers. I'm curious now that he has finally started finally breaking from Trump's suck my cock like a proper republican rhetoric, if maybe he'll start to recognize and bash these 1/100 fake science bullshitrrs they've gone out of their way to promote their ludicrousness we will be better off. It's sad to say, but America can be saved by ~10 influencers or Rupert Murdock not being a murderous piece of shit for 1 day. That said. If you know Murdoch's family, tell them they should all hang for me. Every member of that family is guilty of murder. Not just 1 murder either. Millions. If they want their freedom, they need to do the right thing.
Just because they didn't fire the gun, doesn't mean they were not behind it. Just about every hate crime in America in the past 15 years is Fox's fault. If Murdoch cared about his family he'd shut down Fox and never set foot in America again.
9/10 school shootings, I can safely say. Murdoch. Hang the fucker
If anyone’s pinning their hopes on Rogan doing anything sensible… well, have fun with that.
Oh definitely not, the hope was beaten out of me a long time ago.
Same reason they're still hung up on Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton: the nazi grifters keep recycling the same material.
If anything, they're going further and further back, reviving fringe conspiracies, so that it seems like the plot to oppress them has continuity throughout history, even since ancient times. (Of course, the problem with that is having to skirt around the OG nazis, who did the same thing with essentially the same conspiracies.)
To them nothing exists before Reagan, except when they want to bash Carter as the caveman that Reagan took America from.
Go back any further, and they have the only president who was never elected (Ford) or the first president to resign in disgrace (Nixon), although every Republican president since Nixon should have resigned, or in the case of one, arrested, tried, and executed.
Oh yeah, I was saying more broadly, but you're right.
Also, reading your reply made me realize something: this existential apocalyptic danger that they use to justify their extremism, it's both a recent emergency that will destroy society if we don't act now and an ancient Satanic plot that has existed since time immemorial.
You reference to a societal emergency reminded me of Skum's recent Cheesehsed Speech, in which he claimed the the Wisconsin Supreme Court election was important to the entire world. His propaganda starts at about 1:20.
Because they’re fucking stupid. Let them shovel it in their faces and improve the gene pool. who the fuck cares?
Let them eat that stuff by the spoonful. You cannot convince them otherwise, anyway. If they survive, good for them, if not, they just claim it was gods will.
If not, good for humanity.
My mother, born and raised in Norway, fucking believes this shit about Ivermectin. Line... Why???
Its a cancer that is spreading across the world. My dad thinks covid isn't real but also ivermectin is a wonder drug that the government tried to hide for some reason.
I think it's, at least partly, related to lead, and the amount of lead they inhaled in the 70's and 80's.
I also remember my mother telling me "don't believe everything you read on the internet"-talk all throughout the 90's. I tell her this now, and she literally told me last week that I must stop reading anti-propaganda...... 🤣🤣 I asked her what that is, and she has no way of describing it, just talking about anti-propaganda. So, facts?
My mother passed away last summer. While cleaning out her house we found a half used bottle of ivermectin injectable solution. Like I’m pretty sure my mother bought vet supplies and was injecting herself.
They've forgotten all the things they chanted to us aa kids; "don't believe everything you read online."
Especially if she can sort of read English but isn't too proficient, I've noticed that type goes harder for all the shit.
And like someone pointed out, there's a pretty well established pipeline from woowoo spirituality into right wing garbage.
My mom reads clickbait titles and thinks she knows the entire story.
A few years ago there was a clickbait title that Cracker Barrel was closing their restaurants, and she told me they were going out of business. I found the story, and it said that they were closing a few stores, but they were opening up a whole lot more. Cracker Barrell wasn't going out of business. All she had read was the title, and concluded they were completely going out of business.
To this day, whenever we pass a Cracker Barrell, she either repeats that she read they were going out of business, or she wonders aloud when they be closing that location, since they are going out of business. When I try to correct her, she says she read it, and "You think you know everything."
No, Mom, I don't know everything, but I know not to believe clickbait headlines.
On the positive side, she has always despised HitlerPig with a white-hot passion. She hated him long before he ran for president anyway, but she became really serious after the Pussy-Grabber tape. After that, for a couple of years, just the mention of his name would bring on a 20 minute rant, starting with "I dont know how any woman could vote for that man..."
They simply don't die fast enough from their medical idiocy to suit me.
Darwinism is a slow process, but it always wins in the end...until the meteor arrives with a better idea.
it is not a help to anyone to have more disable maga. there are plenty already.
What…?
They are dying and getting debilitating health issues from this shit, and honestly, I think that’s in the interest of the greater good.
Because…
a) wellness conmen don’t stop the con
b) cognitive dissonance for people embedded into conservative social and media bubbles
c) MAGA politicians never admit that they intentionally or unintentionally gave people bad advice.
