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.

From a 1949 book cover distributed to schools by DC.
MAGA is basically opposed to truth, justice, and the American way, aren't they?

They really do live in their own little bubble huh? Like dude is a literal alien, and they think he is a home grown hero.
DCU heads in their best J. Jonah Jameson voice:
FIND ME A SINGLE TWEET THAT MAKES A CONTROVERSY OF THIS MOVIE!! WE NEED FREE PUBLICITY DAMMIT!!! IT WORKED FOR DISNEY, IT WILL WORK FOR US!! GET ME ~~THOSE PICTURES~~ THAT TWEET!!!!
Did they forget they were mad at James Gunn for comments he made about Trump in 2018? It’s not like they were going to see this movie anyway since they don’t like any form of entertainment that’s not explicitly pandering to them.
Lol, they can't remember all the things they are outraged about. If you're expecting consistency and logic, you're talking about the wrong group.
"SuperMan is an immigrant" I thought that was an alien. In which world we do live where is worst being an immigrant than an alien.
When I was a kid, immigrants were called aliens. Illegal immigrants were illegal aliens.
I'm looking forward to when "MAGA" becomes derogatory like they somehow did with "woke."
by using their terms/names you give them legitimacy. Do not fall for it. Less platform they have, less damage they can inflict. Remember their task is to "flood the zone" and adding MAGA to your vocabulary is helping them. "Misinformed Americans" or "Malicious Americans" or "Mindless Americans" are more appropriate terms

2015 That’s when.
Just taking far too long for it to propagate.
It already is for half of the country.
You can be the change you want to see. Start using it as a pejorative.
"What, are you MAGA?"
"I got a MAGA type explanation in response to my question."
"It's clear that MAGA is in charge over there."
Your usage doesn't seem derogatory without context. I could see a MAGA person saying those things without negativity. It might help to look how woke got transformed. Perhaps it was paired with negative terms like "get this woke shit out of my face."
Science bless you James Gunn. Keep fighting the good fight.
Well, Superman is an illegal immigrant. I don't think they have a US consulate in Kypton.
I don't think they have much on Krypton anymore.
Too soon...smh
Does that make him a refugee?
Only if he actually applies for refugee status.
Yesz a refugee application is a legal path to entry. Just coming and ignoring border co trolls makes him an illegal alien.
