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!

Everything trump and is gestapo does is cruel on purpose that's the only way they feel something
I talked to a friend about the deportations and he said he "doesn't care" because they "broke the law." I showed how it will hurt us economically, how these people aren't committing crimes, how it will hurt real human beings. He said he didn't care. I don't know how to deal with that. This action will only create pain for everyone, hell even the elites may be minutely inconvenienced by it.... why are we doing it?
Some people are legitimately so simple that "no paperwork == deportation" even if it means death and suffering. Even when they know that the "right way" to come here takes a decade and is too costly. It's like humans have forgotten how to feel empathy. If I sat these people at the border and had them talk to the desperate mothers and fathers and children, would they be moved? How do you reason with someone that legitimately thinks "I don't care if people die over paperwork"
It feels like we're gleefully goose stepping toward "just following orders" and it's horrific.
You don't deal with them...you laugh when they are forced to pay $100 per egg, or to work the fields themselves. These people don't give a shit and have zero logical skills to see past literal and blatant lies.
Huh?? You'll be paying those same prices as a result of their actions, your suggestion is to completely stop interacting?
These people aren't computers, they're stupid - they take a very long time to process things like abstract concepts. If we, like all of us living in the U.S., don't figure out how to communicate to them the truth you might as well just get a gun and start shooting people - because that's where this is heading.
