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!

A republican's only goal in life is to punish all of the women who wouldn't have sex with them but would with other people.
Pretty sure that's not the goal of Republican women.
I agree they're motivated mostly by spite, but it's complicated spite.
No it is very simple. "Punish anyone deemed 'lazy'"
That doesn't really explain the racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. Yes, there is a trope of immigrants, etc., being lazy, but there's no such stereotype about LGBT+ people. I'm pretty sure the perceived laziness comes from the hatred, not the other way around.
You mean projection, it comes from the projection they do
It's internalized misogyny.
Seriously, everyone who says the whole controlling women thing is overthinking this.
A Republican offers society absolutely nothing. The Republicans know they offer society nothing. Thus, they literally make up morals that don't change their lives in meaningful ways. Throw in some scapegoating for good measure.
Born straight or cisgender, well now you have easy minority groups to target. Born to the white Christian majority? Well, just say your EXISTENCE* is the correct moral choice and now go after everyone else.
*Notice how I didn't say values or anything like religion. These people essentially worship their genetics and [cultural] upbringing.
There is no push for work reform, responsible price regulation, environment regulation, better healthcare, less murder, more vacation/relaxing time to destress, etc...
They just talk about fetuses.
Which is odd given the amount of closeted gay pedos there are in the party.
