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!

I remember growing up and being just baffled at how violent racism was a thing. Obviously it was still a thing when I was growing up, but less so than in the Jim Crow era and before. I couldn't comprehend how Naziism could take hold. I couldn't understand imprisoning and killing people for supporting an unpopular political ideology (specifically thinking of communism in the US). I couldn't understand people cheering on fascist, authoritarian leaders.
It's been really depressing to see over these last few years just exactly how common those problems are and how easily something like Naziism can take hold, and how quickly.
Is this another “leave it to the states” dog whistle before a nationwide ban is on table?
Yes.
And Clarence Thomas is not concerned because he’s the canonical definition of a race-traitor
Absolutely. I can recognize the worst stereotypes of my race and stop behaving that way without heroizing or demonizing myself and my so called race
everyone should have more children!!! no not those kind of children!!!
“When I said ‘everyone,’ I didn’t mean THEM….”
Let's hear what Clarence has to say.
He'll say what he's paid to say.
Is his wife the payer?
I think thats the dynamic he likes.
See, this is part of his long con. Clarence knows his wife is crazy, so instead of divorcing her, he's just going to make their marriage illegal. /s
They’s miscegenatin!
Any time the federal government wants to rule on something against what these people want, but which they dont feel would be socially acceptable to let people know they want, the pull out the "leave it to the states" argument. After all, if all the states ought to allow something, then theres no difference between it being allowed by every state and by it being allowed everywhere by the federal government. Theres nothing that is fundamentally moral in one state but immoral in a different state. The only reason why you'd want to "leave it to the states" on something like this is that you actually dont want to allow it, dont think you can currently get it banned at the federal level, but do think some states would do so given the chance.
How about… no
Loving v. Virginia is another one of those court decisions that Democrats have had decades to codify into law, but haven't.
