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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Unfortunately even though most people don't 'support' it- it's a spectacle that gets headlines and clicks, and those further incentivize more spectacle. She's not doing it for the few people that would say they support it, she's doing it for the attention of people that don't.
If you don’t think people support this, you haven’t been in any conservative US spaces. They love Hunter’s penis
This would have worked in ancient Greece too
And hey, things went well for them (until they didn't).
She would have had to hold up an urn.
And here we all are :/ I've said this everywhere I frequent, and it's never worked, but maybe Lemmy will buy in. Lets just stop posting and upvoting obvious negative attention seeking garbage. Downvote it, harshly. Downvote the comments left on the post just for feeding the trolls, even if you agree with what the comment says. Let the names of these idiots be forgotten in these parts. We're better.
Yea, I don't really want to forget about the regressive dipshits that get to pick what laws I have to obey.
Call me crazy, but knowledge of their bullshit has helped me avoid their problems.
I dont think ignoring the issues with psychopaths in government will help the problem go away.
I would love to just ignore these people and have them go away, but it sadly doesn't work that way. If we ignore them, then they'll just push the envelope more and more. Silence is taken as permission to go further with their fascist tactics.
If we fight back enough, then perhaps the day will soon come when they are politically irrelevant and we can ignore them. Until then, we need to pay attention to what they are doing.
