For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.
Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.
Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.
Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

Absolutely not. Most Latinos and legal immigrants voted for the mirage of Trump that they saw on their social media, an incredibly well-engineered campaign of trickery that formed the only picture of reality that they were exposed to. It told him that Biden's ICE was committing atrocities (they were), that Trump was a wealthy successful man who wasn't part of the Washington elite that had been abusing them for however many generations, and that voting for him was a good way to stand up for traditional values.
It's not, in my opinion, their fault that they were suckered by it. It's like the Boy Scouts playing against the US military. You can't hold people responsible for failing to overcome a set of propaganda that's been invested in on the scale of the space program. You can try to fix the systems, and in the meantime give them some sympathy, because they're fucked bad now, and no mistake.
Let's not use slurs or racist comments. I'm giving you a time out.
Could say the same for anyone couldn’t you tho. Pretty sure even Elon has been radicalised by his own For You feed the thick cunt
