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 love your interpretation of the US. Trust me, a lot of us that are from here feel the same way driving through those types of states 🤣
The religious loony spots are mocked if you're not from those small towns. Hell, even most kids that are from those towns talk crap about them!
The thing is, we, although now that I think about it, you too, have been fed a lot of indoctrination about the US.
It came with the whole Marshall plan package (that whole thing that was meant to refinance a peacetime US economy, and sell lots of US products in Europe, oh, and also rebuild stuff over there, as long as they pay for it).
But in the 50s and 60s, Europe was inundated with US media showing how awesome they were (it changed a bit in the 70s). It came with lots of US products. But that left a long lasting impression shomehow. Although it's still true that the US it the place to go to get a project financed. Because thanks to its huge market, its considerably easier to find some financing than in Europe's very fragmented environment.
But then we've been spared the whole political indoctrination. The level to which the US was indoctrinated is unheard of in the West. Very few countries have gone beyond it worldwide. The whole Cold War Witch Hunt thing has been written in the US psyche as in stone. It's something that still echoes today. Deformed, but I'm pretty sure you could trace it back to its origins.
And yet, the US is the place where people make silly things. This is IMO such a uniquely US thing, the making of stupid and fun stuff (ok, China has caught up on it, but they're just copying the concept), that it redeems the US for a lot of things.
So I've been to the US, I've met lots of great people. I've met lots of real bizarro weirdos. It's a nice place. I wouldn't ever live there. But I don't mind visiting every now and then. For now.
