Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

I would count, but the second view of the article has a paywall. But it's kind of odd how first it says just 3 people disagreed with him, but then there's about 5 names mentioned, and a few of them spoke to other attendees who had the same opinions.

Possible mirror? Pay wall...

Saralegui, who described himself as a lifelong Republican and spoke to González, says that “once the MAGA movement leaves the Republican Party, I might once again become a Republican.”

I hate to break it to you buddy but MAGA is a billionaire backed agenda that runs from the US to around the globe. So many obvious racists (fascist is just a pretty term for what they TRULY are) that are wealthy have been making moves against our democratic societies for the better part of 4 decades. From Helmut Marko to Elon Musk, Putin, DJT and the Saudis. All racists or religious extremists or a mix of it all. Be warned fools.

I think its kind of reductive to claim that all the billionaire fascists are merely racists. I mean sure, racism plays a part, and they definitely are racists, and eugenicists, but fascism primarily is about power and control, and those that have that power now and want more of it arent motivated solely by racism. The reason fascists dislike minorities of all kinds, not only racial minorities but also sexual and religious ones, is because they threaten the status quo and exist outside of the fascists desired hierarchy, and because its useful for controlling a population to give them something 'other' to hate and fight against, aside from the fascist puppetmasters pulling their strings. Race is definitely involvex, but for the billionaires leading the charge, the fascist push is avoht money and power and control.

Also a concerted effort by Putin, who is not only likely the real richest man on Earth but also the head of a fascist country that wants to destroy the very idea of democracy around the world.

He's SUCH a pos. Anybody who can witness his "weave" and still think he's intelligible is already so stupid that nothing can be done for or about them.

I wonder how long they work shopped and focus grouped "the weave" before they decided it was a viable lie to cover up the man's obvious, raging stupidity.

Good, they paid attention.
