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!

It's just a totem pole of different psychotic groups giving orders
On top, the "0.1%" being a vague amalgamation of Corpo and Tech Fascists, who are looking to basically seperate themselves from society. And gain a form of Sovereignty overtop of the government itself, with their territory not being states and nations but their own networks of followers. Primarily through Social Media , Television and Internet.
Then there's the government, That is populated with slackjawed knuckle dragging chuds who want to roll on a vague Ultranationalist-Jingoism-Ultraconservative ticket.
these two groups basically think they control the other, but more or less co-exist and let the other think they're in charge.
And then below both of these groups are the diehard, dimwitted followers who are supporting them either because they think they're going to get rich by doing so, or because they want to "own" someone.
and beyond that... it starts to become everyone else.
Whew that shattered off a fragment of my mind. It's ironic that we say they want to own (get one over on) the libs, but what they really want is to do is own (enslave) an outgroup.
