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!

Haven’t we already reached fundamental christian terrorism and openly celebrated fascism
From the outside looking in I don’t think you have yet.
From the inside looking around, I'm pretty sure we have. Maybe not 30% of the population going around throwing up nazi salutes to trump or technicals driving down highways shooting anyone with rainbow bumper stickers, but we certainly have Republicans openly calling for fascism and celebrating each move towards it, and definitely have domestic terrorists the media keeps calling "lone wolves" going around shooting up power substations and other electrical infrastructure they think supplies democratic leaning areas especially when they have things like planned parenthood, drag queen story time, any form of trans support...
Sure they almost certainly aren't communicating with each other, but they're working toward a common goal and it sure does line up pretty solidly with what most of the Christians around here want. Seems pretty cut and dry domestic terrorism to me.
I think if Trump trulley embraces the christian fundamentalists then you will be a lot closer. I do worry about what will happen in across October to January. Either way your election goes I think you are for a lot of hurt socially and as a democracy.
Either way I think there is more to come - unfortunately
America #1 - we can always do it bigger and better.
First part, yes. Second part, not yet. They still want to appeal to "moderates".
