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!

His supporters don't care. They love the government dysfunction until it affects them directly.
And when it does affect them directly, it's one of:
And the damn republicans do this shit on purpose. Like fix a problem only to have it expire for the next president who likely wont be republican to fix so they can start the blame game all over. Or vote against something so they can blame the current administration for not fixing the problem.
It’s like they don’t have any useful ideas at all and run on dysfunction, fear, and hate.
Or blame the deep state
They never believe that the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party meme is all about them. Even after their lose their face.
And it’s not a matter of “if” it will affect them, it’s “when”. His dumbass policies and ideas fuck it up for everyone. Well unless you’re stupid rich and maybe even then when he starts some asinine war that destroys everything.
"He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting" told me everything I need to know about his supporters.
They'll support literal death camps. They'll watch you and your family crushed under a tank. They'll say you had it coming.
They also like it during and after, for some reason.
