America under Trump means our allyship erodes and we lose the power to stand up to major threats in the event of war, plain and simple

An insurrectionist clown encouraging a former KGB agent in charge of Russia to attack Europe.

Every dead Republican president since Eisenhower is spinning in his grave.

The reason is very simple. Conservatives are vile pieces of shit. It really is that easy.

Nearly every act of bigotry ever committed in history has been done by conservatives. Nearly every war of aggression, every genocide and every oppressive dictatorship throughout history has been at the hands of conservatives. In fact, nothing good in all of human history has ever come from conservatism. Nothing at all.

Vile pieces of shit will always vote for the most vile piece of shit they can find. They can’t help themselves because they are vile pieces of shit.

Many are that stupid, compounded with a belief system that discourages critical thinking, encourages blind faith and trust, and maintains an insular culture through a hefty persecution complex.

Yes. I’m speaking about evangelical Christian’s.

I thought he was mask off in his previous campaign, but he definitely isn’t holding back this time. He’s telling his whole supporter base he’d happily do whatever Putin wanted and they cheer for him anyway… If they want to be Russian puppets so badly, we should just send them all off to Russia where they’d clearly be happier.

Reminds me of the guy with a shirt on at one of his rallies that read “rather be a Russian than a Democrat”. I think the guy later tried to walk back the seriousness of his shirt, but these fools look like they’re roped in whether they like it or not.

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!
