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!

But don't you see how great things are in Gaza now? Surely the downfall of democracy was worth it.
Things in Gaza will be totally worth it when it is razed to the ground and a huge Trump resort is built on top of it. Gazans can work as waiters and masseuses where their houses used to be!
At least we stuck it to GeNoCiDe JoE, though

But Harris had a shrill laugh.
... Psst....
The real reason she lost was that she has a vagina. But they know they can't say that out loud. So, "shrill laugh" it is

Maga is Christian in name only. If hell is real, they're all going to hell because nothing they do has anything to do with Christ's teachings.
This. They would never dare attend services in non-white churches and would be hostile to newcomers that appear “different” in their own communities. These folks quickly abandon the teachings of Jesus Christ to fight for “racial purity” hands down.

Remember when they put out a document that told us that they were going to do this, and exactly how, and people ignored it or called it "propaganda"?

This is news? ... as in something new?
White Christian America has been promoting this for years
Yeah, 250 years.
This is such an interesting article, thanks for sharing :)
In general, i'm pro-balkanization mostly because i don't see a common future for the people in the US anymore, and splitting up the region into smaller communities might have the advantage that people can hold their representatives more directly liable, because they live closer-by.
There’s lots of paternalistic Daddy talk these days that centers on the need to “protect the American people.”
It would be good if the government actually protected the american people from economic hardship. A quarter of americans can't find jobs who cover life's needs, and the situation is gonna get much worse over the next 10 years due to automation and AI.
In that sense, implementing a universal basic income would be good, though i'm not sure what the conservative speakers had in mind with that.
According to most reports, his underlying message was reflected in a reckless refrain heard throughout the conference: “You can just do things!”
You might have to.
If the USA will split up in the evangelical right and liberal left then you'll end up with one super power, now unburdened by the anchor weight of the red states, and one theocratic third world banana republic dictatorship that will be unable to feed its own population
At this point, is any red states even able to take care of itself without federal support?
Either way, I'm all for it too, let these antisocial religious idiots suffer in their own little north korea corner, but be sure they won't get any nukes as they're very Apocalypse culty
Part of the problem is that the divide is more urban vs rural than state by state. We might end up with dozens of city states with all the tech and money, but none of the staples of life and vast tracts of impoverished rural thocracies that can only survive by selling food and raw materials to the city states.

Religious participation is plummeting as the compassionate and reasonable people disassociate from Christianity

Stop. Blaming. Maga.
This is the GOP. They fucking TOLD you this was the plan.
Dude, the GOP = MAGA.
The republicans that were around during bush 2 are gone. That party is gone. The problem is that people that consider themselves Republican like the politicians from that era and before, haven’t not realized that the modern GOP is the same in name only.

““Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”” Matthew 25:41-46 If only more people who claimed to follow Christ read and listened to what Jesus actually had to say about the kinds of people they are persecuting.

Project 2025 is a shit show and would turn the USA into 1979 Iran.
*is turning. It’s over halfway implemented and accelerating fast
And 1979 Iran was helped to start by the CIA.

America just loves dictatorships so much it wanted a new one here at home.
Fuck religion.
I think “NatCons” is a great name for the fascist American right. It’s like they just handed it to us.
