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!

Why on earth would he need to be forgiven? He was clearly doing his father's work: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_Ham
Grew up in the south, I just have 0 tolerance anymore, there is so much unabashed evil, we had black GIs come back from fighting to liberate concentration camps, only to be lynched at home.
My personal experience is that redemption of the south is no more possible than redeeming the nazi party, at least not without very hard and direct work like we needed to do during reconstruction.
In the meantime this corruption is spreading and destroying the rest of the country, the cancer is metastacizing and it's too late to amputate the limb.
First of all, I have no respect for fascists. Most of them are afraid to drive into a city. They clearly own guns for fear reasons. These men are Nihilists, Donnie, there’s nothing to worry about.
But second of all, the south is not monolithic. Atlanta, New Orleans, Memphis, Birmingham, Houston, etc. are not the same as the state governments that have disenfranchised people for more than a century. Most people aren’t scum.
Lived in half those cities, but the suburbs aren't hot either.
The minority who are scum make up for it with their energy.
