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!

We did it! We pushed the Overton Window so far to the right that Fox News became woke!
That already happened back in 2020 when Fox called the election for Biden. MAGATs melted down, called Fox "radical leftists" and vowed to give their views to even more regressive outlets.
What is the political-lean equivalent of integer overflow?
"Falling out of the overton window, russian oligarch style"
Horseshoe theory
Which is as true a theory as The Big Bang Theory. And no, I do not mean that sarcastically.
Nah, integer overflow is a real thing that happens.
That's why I use chars no one ever talks about char overflows.
No app with more than 255 of anything should exist anyway.
To be fair, it's a Murdoch property as is the Wall Street Journal... and the WSJ is pissed because Trump is fucking up the economy.
I honestly am a little surprised there hasn't been more pushback from FOX News just yet, because WSJ is basically done with this shit. But there are cracks showing in FOX News coverage as well.
Check this shit out, Fox posted this on fb when Bill Burr said that stuff about how we should treat "differently affluent" people (that's my new euphemism, like it?)
I thought it seemed weirdly anti-oligarchy for them and the comments were almost entirely pro-Burr. Interesting times we live in for sure
Fox learned during his first term that if they push too hard their viewers just go to Newsmax instead.
That's what's so scary about this beast Murdoch and co have created. They thought they could pump out fake news for decades and people would believe whatever they wanted, allowing them to control the narrative.
It worked for a while, but then others realized how gullible the Fox News crowd was - and saw they could go even further into the crazy. Fox News now is basically in a spot where they have no choice but to push crazier shit than they actually want to. If they say the 2020 election wasn't stolen, their viewers jump ship to someone who will tell them that it was.
many of the young viewers abandoed it for oan/newsmax and right wing grifters. Its the milleneals and older that still is on fox.
I'd say Trump is about to learn what happens when you fuck with the money, but he's literally incapable of learning.
I'm so proud of us. We're all grown up and fascist. Brings a single tear to my eye, ya know, bcz I'm not some woke bleeding heart liberal.
I've always thought of the political spectrum more like a circle.
