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!

If you think there are fascists on both sides, then you don't know what fascism is. The left definitely has problems, but being fascist isn't one of them.
Remember during Covid when supply lines were interrupted, people started hoarding resources, and the store shelves were bare? That was just a comparatively minor disruption compared to what would happen if we "burn it down". Think seeing children starving in Gaza is horrifying? It would happen here in much larger numbers. Our millions of guns would be turned on us by our neighbors. It would be The Purge in real life. The Rawandan Genocide would be tame by comparison.
All hyperbole
Would you bet your life on that?
My experience with decades of liberal hyperbole says yes.
Nothing liberal or hyperbolic about facts.

Liberals claimed if Trump got reelected in 2020 he would start WWIII, the economy would crash, Roe would get overturned, rights would be lost. Trump didnt get elected and all those things still happened
The liberals were right. Those things happened because of actions Trump set in motion.
