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!

Edit: tbh, the article is fairly light around the edges, so feel free to give them a visit if you want to support them.
If not, saved you a click
Thanks. Seems like the downfall of Twitter won't stop news articles that are just a summary of a microblog.
Boy howdy, am I glad I live in the really really real America and not whatever shithole America this lunatic is foaming about.
The problem is that a lot of rural folks, that have never left the county they were born in, believe all this is true.
Oh for sure. I always enjoy hearing how awful California is. 😂 Total lawless hellhole here, I tell you, with a tyrannical governor who's going to force you to buy an EV that you can't drive once the sun goes down because solar doesn't work!
Same thing in Chicago. Born and raised here, absolutely love it here. Was in an Uber in Florida a few weeks ago and the driver taking me to the airport asked "Are you sure you want to fly to Chicago? It's not safe there!" Yeah buddy, I'd rather stay here and wait for Desantis new private army to come knock on my door.
We really need a modern rumspringa where rural red state kids get to come see what life is like in the big wide world.
