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!

It's things like this where at times I wish there was a god and these people would actually have to stand in judgment and defend themselves
If there was a god, what kind of fucked up guy would he be?
I want y’all to suffer under evil people but I won’t intervene because I want you to struggle to test whether you believe in me. I want you to believe in me despite me giving no evidence I exist at all except some weird contradictory book written by a bunch of people who I supposedly did reveal myself to. But I won’t reveal myself to you because I made a bet with the other bad god who’s not god, just one of my minions who started his own spot. All because I love you more than anything. I care so much about your “free will” to deal with the misery I created to test your faith because I love you. It’s really important you blindly, faithfully love me back above all despite how I test you or I will give you to the other guy to torture you even worse forever.
What kind of demented abusive assed relationship would that be if god existed?
I picture God, if there is one, as a researcher who is doing some kind of research on the plants and animals in an Earth shaped petri dish. He may have intervened in ancient times until he got the initial parameters he wanted but now he's just monitoring and taking notes. Someday he'll finish up and kill everything and start the dissection phase.
Yup. IF God exists, he either doesn't care for us at all, or is actively evil.
Similar to like if we created a swamp somewhere and there was bacteria growing in it. We'd give no fucks, or poison the bacteria by dumping toxic shit in it.
These people wouldn't stand before God. They would immediately get a one way ticket to hell. As they did not allow due process in life, they will not get it in death.
Ironically and hypocritically many of them are devout Christians.
I saw somewhere recently trump still has a massive approval rating from evangelicals/protestants.
Devout isn't the right word there. Saying they are devout means that they have a deep commitment to their faith. That is clearly not true. These people may claim to read their holy book, but they clearly don't understand the slightest bit of it, well nothing in the new testament certainly. They love the old, first testament, fire-and-brimstone God that tells his followers to kill their enemies down to the last man, woman, or child. They have no interest in reading the woke Jesus stuff.
"Predictably" would also fit here.
I don't think hell would want them either they'd probably be given a bus ticket to the US.
