Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.

every time you use the phrase "in other words", you need to be really careful if it is still the original message in other words, or if you are trying to spin in to something they did not say so it is easier for you to attack it -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
these poor creatures are often result of having no other people around them, so they fall into some internet rabbit hole full of shit. and in that case, finding real people who can help to ground you in reality, and "stabilize yourself", eg. get back to real world, is not bad advice.
of course it does not work if you find some similar assholes to pat each other on your back, but that doesn't necessarily invalidate the advice.
Yes, thank you, I'm sure Fox News has only the best of intentions and wishes for all of their older viewers whose children have cut them off due to their political and social views to reevaluate those views and change for the better.
