Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

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.

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.

Talked to a guy a couple months ago about Trump being re-elected and he literally told me that "at least we can now fly American flags again" now that Biden was out.
I just stared at him like... what the fuck are you even talking about dude??
Not a citizen, by the way. Wouldn't surprise me if he was already deported.
Sounds like he was one of the sharpest bulbs, so to speak.
I am still reeling at talking to someone that not only said we can now say "Merry Xmas" again, thanks to Taco (WTAF?!!!), and said it with not even a whiff of irony. While I was still laughing, he said he hopes that Taco will be able to fix the terrible Biden economy.
This guy is not suffering in the slightest. His wife pays for most everything, and he has steady work. Fixed mortgage. Maybe there was a slight uptick here in inflation, even if it was lower than so many other countries. This guy didn't feel it. But he was standing there and telling me right while Taco was wiping about 20% out of my savings due to cratering the market and thus everyone's 401K, that Taco was going to "fix" this so-called terrible economy of Biden's.
Straight the fuck outta 1984. And I know people say "the financial markets are not the economy", but they are HIGHLY correlated, so that dog won't hunt. If the market crashes, people don't care about the S&P are still going to be affected.
