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!

I would like to know more
Historically, fascists (fascisus microdickus), were deep-forest dwelling creatures that would seldom leave their nests except when foraging the nearby land for tobacco or Mountain Dew. In some rare cases, you could catch them gathering lots of copper wiring from old houses for reasons that are still unknown to this day.
Several years ago, it was discovered that there were huge subsidies given in secret to communications companies to provide cheap internet to this developing species. It was assumed that the swift influx of non-baised and healthy information found on the internet could propel these people to heights in society that would have taken them years to do otherwise.
Unfortunately, due to unforseen consequences of a programming error mixed with a substance called jeebus, a condition erupted where they could only answer questions with vague sentences like "Obama gunna take yer guns!" and "You can't tell me whut to do!"
In a flurry of screeching, they suddenly coalesced into a single gelatinous mass of Skoal, high fructose corn syrup and Budweiser.
In the past, we have been able to stop these things with a well placed nuke or several million pounds of high explosives. I am afraid that since they have been able to establish control over some large wildlife related cable networks, they have been able to target our most vulnerable with the threat of higher taxation rates. This is spiking a huge de-evolution trend like we haven't seen in years.
It may be too late to do anything now.

I'm dying. This is amazing. Thanks for the laugh! Lol
