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 politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- 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 a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.
That's all the rules!

Unfortunately half the US agrees with him and the other half is a bunch of pants-pissing cowards.
No. Its about 30%. Too damn high, but it is not half
You know what? It doesn’t matter. It could be 5 percent and it wouldn’t make a lick of difference if the rest of your country sits there with its thumbs up it’s asses and allows it.
If it’s 30% and not 50? Great- the rest of you look even WORSE for not dealing with it. Get off your sofas and start ensuring these people don’t feel safe leaving their homes.
30% backing a fascist government as the floor is pretty fucking awful. That doesn’t leave a lot of room for the shitty normal conservatives or the centrists who are so terrified to actually have a stance that they’ll fight people with a strong opinion before they fight a fascist.
Absolutely half, maybe more even, are the kind of people who will either cause the problem or do nothing to stop it or even try to tell the good people that they’re being dramatic because they don’t want to face the fact their country is a broken mess.
