Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

This is very on brand for republicans. It is part of the overall plan to create Gilead (that SHOULD be an exaggeration but... if anything it is an understatement). The idea being that women are property.

  1. Abortion is evil. Because if a guy knocks up a woman? Assuming he doesn't "deny deny deny" and his lawyer can't get him out of it, he is looking at a ridiculously small tax that he pays for a few months and then ignores for the rest of his life. A woman loses months (if not years) of her life to recovery and childcare and loses earning potential for her entire life. Which... makes her more beholden to her spouse.
  2. Affirmative action is racist/sexit/whatever. Because, same as above, it makes it easier for Manly Men to refuse to promote or hire women to keep them barefoot and pregnant because they can't get a job.
  3. Divorce is wrong: So even if your property gets uppety and thinks she can find a way to survive without you? Sorry, not legal, go cook dinner and then I'll put another baby in you.

And plenty of others. The goal is to make women property that can't escape or ever say no.

And the idea of a man wanting to leave a woman? Just kill the bitch and get a new wife. Or fuck your daughter.
