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!

Goddamn. Maybe those republiQan women weren't evil, just ignorant as hell?
I've said this plenty and people tend to agree with me even if their first reaction is to fight me on it, conservative women are some of the most if not the most stupid people in the US. At least conservative men have something to gain by voting the way they do, but conservative women literally vote to get their own rights taken away.
I don't even say this trying to be mean, I wish they got what they deserved and by that I mean healthcare, education and whatever social program they needed to be happy and safe. Unfortunately they constantly vote against me wanting the best for them.
They need to all be sat down and forced to watch The Handmaid's tale, with a constant reminder they won't be one of the rich wives.
Unfortunately some of them want it. Check out trad wives, it's sad.
Meh, that's the thing about choice. If they and their partner want to live that way they can choose to do so, as long as they aren't trying to force others to also live that way.
I get it and agree with you but these are also the type of people who want everyone to go back to that and go out of their way to insult people who don't live that lifestyle.
One of the big points was that even the rich wives had a horrendous life. Indeed, even the men.
Serena Joy hated her situation, did she not?
My wife's mother told her not to worry about abortion being banned because "people won't let that happen". Umm. Except it already has.
There was a brief record scratch moment when the abortion ban stuff happened, but the trumpers I know got right back on the bandwagon and are now talking "white replacement theory."
Ugh, that's gone mainstream?
Sure has. It's pretty easy for Nazi talking points to go mainstream when the richest person in the country, who also controls a social media platform, is a Nazi. And the ex-president is a Nazi.
This sort of thing shouldn't be surprising anymore.
"I don't need to vote. People will never let Trump get elected." Wanna bet she will never change her mind on this stance either? Like, "Yes, Trump got elected once, but people won't let him get elected again, so I don't need to vote." Ugh, I am getting angry at this straw man of your wife's mother now.
Most ignorance is willful
WILLFUL IGNORANCE OF OTHERS PAIN IS EVIL
It's the Nuremturd defense. "I was just followink LibsofTikTok".
