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!

Narrator - "There isn't one."
This might be the funniest thing I’ve ever read. This shit has me in tears lmao

"Much of his work is satirical."
Man, I will be amazed if this is in fact a really well played troll that got the media to take him seriously and interview him for an article and he just stayed in character...
Then again, after all the things we've seen from MAGA, I can still see this being serious.
I thought this was a fairly obvious piece of satire. Got a giggle out of me, for sure.
NOPE. Fuck you.
I would rather vote for his dead brain worm.
I'm voting for his dead bear cub.
"being placed in a sanitarium."
Fuck it, upvoted. This douchecunt draws more from trump’s base than Harris’. Fuck the republican traitor filth.
Whoa, JOE ROGAN is hanging out on Lemmy. We should all feel so privileged to his opinions! /s
It’s hilarious that he shot himself in the dick.
No thanks. No more dynasties. No more Bushs, Clintons, or Kennedys.
I like the part where he voted for Trump five times.
And all the anal fissures
And that was just counting the last election!
I honestly can't tell if this opinion piece is genuine or just satire because of how much it jumps the fucking shark "I have Fissures in my Rectum that wouldn't be there if I was treated by an American doctor unlike my doctor Hussein from Mexico."
And I feel like the title of novelist is being used very loosely.
The first line is "I’m a lifelong registered Republican who has voted for Donald J. Trump in the past five presidential elections."
I went back and forth on this exact thought and thats why I shared it. I kept thinking "surely this is The Onion"?
It's a satire piece meant to highlight the absurdity of conservative positions despite how they are presented matter-of-fact in the mainstream. Would love a non paywalled linked to read it all.
There is an archive.org link in one of the comments.
Also I'm not sure how but the Nextcloud News app bypasses The Atlantics paywall via the RSS feed.. so i constantly forget its paywalled. ☠️
