    Those of us who paid attention to the election are aware that leopards like eating faces.

        It’s OK. They’ll just blame the gays, Mexicans, or woke liberal elites. Or, for old time’s sake, the Jews.

          There’s no need for an ‘or’ in that sentence.

    Took me a while to parse that title. A “that” between “spending” and “Musk” would have helped immensely.

      The first time they elected him I felt bad for everyone. The second time though? Clearly things need to get super bad for some people just to wake them up. Though I doubt that’s even possible for most at this point, they are just too far gone.

        Whole bunch of assholes don’t realize the prosperity of America in the 20th century was built on the back of the social programs of the New Deal.

          It mostly built on the back of a top marginal tax rate of 70%

        They’ll never wake up, because FOX et.al will simply tell them it’s still the liberal gay black immigrants fault.

    In the counties most reliant on transfer payments — where they account for more than 25% of all income — Trump won 63% of the vote.

    Emotional and easily manipulated idiots will vote against their own interests every time.

    A lot of innocent people are going to get hurt, including my family but I can’t help but to think, oh well, this is what America voted for as a whole as stood as it is.

      Come 2028, they’ll have someone else to blame for all the personal hardships they suffered over the past 4 years, and will vote extra-Trumpy to punish them.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
