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!

Allowing nazis to have any power at all is bad for the country. It would be counter-productive and immoral for normal legislators to support them in any way at all.
When a nazi is doing poorly, you do not assist them. That is suicidal behavior.
I'm done talking with people who call Republicans nazis. It's not productive. It's like talking to Republicans who say "woke agenda".
You mean you're done talking [reality] (https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/gop-popular-front-white-nationalism/)? That you're done talking about the protection of Neo-Nazis and White Nationalists in the military? And about the deep dies Paul Gosar has with Neo-Nazis, Anti-Semites, Islamophobes, and White Nationalists and his sharing of images depicting political violence against Democrats?? Or the guy who insisted that teachers be 'fair' describing Nazism in Indiana Schools? Oh, those sources are biased and just part of the Leftist plan to attack good American Republicans by calling them Nazis, when we all know that Nazis are a Left-Wing party, right? What about Fox News in a rare moment of honesty saying that outright Neo-Nazis, complete with antisemetic rhetoric, and White Supremacists are winning Republican Primaries and running as representatives.
Not all Republicans are Nazis, for sure, but Nazis are voting for Republicans in exchange for their policies and philosophies to gain support in State Houses across the country and in Washington DC. The Right has, as a whole, embraced Trump, who is famously known for retweeting a Mussolini quote and calling it 'very good' when confronted by it. And their goal, honestly, is to completely stop minorities and gays from voting so they can set up, if not a Permanent Republican Majority, then at least a system to block Democrats from making changes until they can steal back power again.
Now, you can take your Concern Trolling and buzz off.
This. THANK YOU.
Maybe without you the conversation can make some progress. Bye Felicia.
They're openly nazis though lol wtf
You might not think it is productive, but it's true for a great deal of the party.
