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!

Frankly I’ve seen the same rhetoric from both MAGAtards and Progressives. Look:
This all sounds like Democrat wishful thinking toward Republicans. I have NEVER heard a Republican call for the deaths of all Democrats, but I have heard Democrats call for the elimination of all Conservatives MANY times.
The Democratic Party, as a political entity needs to be abolished. It is a treasonous terrorist hate group, and should be prohibited. Its leaders should be prosecuted for crimes they have committed or facilitated, and anyone who was involved in promoting, planning, launching, or participating in the 2020 BLM riots should be prohibited from ever holding office.
Nobody is calling for the elimination of the Democratic party, just for it to return to being a responsible party who cares about America, instead of being a tool of WEF and George Soros. If you are hearing that Republicans are calling for the murder and elimination of all Democrats and their party, then you are just hearing bullshit from the Liberal Propaganda Machine. No such suggestion has been made, nor would it ever be discussed.
Spend like 10 minutes in r/conservative or r/askconservatives and you’ll see a few posts that sound exactly like that. Exactly like that. I don’t wanna bring up horshoe theory because it’s not exactly true but godamn do both sides work hard to make it look like it is.
No. Not at all. But I also don’t think that saying that once dems are in power they need to go scorched earth and persecute political opponents. This just continues the ever escalation of political division until killing each other becomes the only viable option because you will clearly not be able to coexist in society.
See, this mad-libs-style reversal of rhetoric doesn't work because of pesky things like facts.
The fact is that anyone who has spent any time in a conservative space will know that what I’m saying is right. You can see it for yourself if you like. These are public online boards.
