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.

if theres one thing conservatives love to do, its racism.
thats it. theyll take any seedy story that happens to highlight a minority and boost it up as if its happening on every street corner. cuz racism.
I remember an interesting story about immigrants coming up from Central America for jobs in meat processing plants.
The area was a typical republican stronghold of small town America.
Anyhow, the story was mostly an interview with the Sheriff in the area, who had to deal with constant reports of “demonic sacrifice” because the immigrants raised goats and slaughtered them- like they always had done.
Which, there sheriff’s tone was “this is all very awkward and it’s stupid that we have to deal with this.” He made a point that it was all legal and “ now within code,” (guessing there was some building code type stuff,)
In any case I found it odd that he didn’t mention that demonic sacrifice wasn’t illegal either.
In any case, people will believe all sorts of bullshit about “others”.
