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!

Most sane republican
LMAO
Participation in a discussion requires your due diligence to at least familiarize yourself with the topic.
No, it's about repoublicans. Trump specifically.
Wild guess with no backing in the article at all
Cool guess, but you could also have read the article.
Just shooting wild guesses and opinions under a very problematic topic helps noone and is lazy at best.
Do you remember when those couple people tortured a developmentally disabled guy on camera because he liked Trump? Probably not.
I don't like Trump but there are definitely crazies everywhere. I think dehumanizing people with different opinions about how to create a healthy society is the dangerous thing. Saying the other side are all monsters tends to turn people with mental illness into monster hunters.
well, the people you are trying to defend have absolutely no problem at all with dehumanizing you.
Tolerating intolerance leads to more intolerance.
There will always be bad things on both sides. But one of the current sides we are talking about is doing the most harm. Spoiler: its the trumpets.
Dunno, didn't read your comment
He didn't read it because he can't read, be nice.
Damn, i am sorry. Anal phabets are really bad in life.
Republicans are actively making it as hard as possible to receive help for or pro actively address mental health issues. They also actively shame people for such problems and want them to just shut up about it. So no, Republicans definitely bear quite a lot of guilt for such "tragedies"!
How so? The primary audience for violent propaganda are republicans. The worst you can find on the democrat/left side are people saying you should beat up Nazis. And even that is hardly done by "official" news channels.
So yeah, currently fanatic republicans are a lot more likely to commit murder than anyone on the other side. Their fetishisation of guns to "defend them self" against the government alone makes sure of that.
OK, the same was still true under Trump. Both sides aren't the same.
From democrats? When?
