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!

He’s never been hinged
Oh, definitely, but if you tell someone they previously voted for a total moron they're not going to vote for you. If everyone knows and has always known they're a moron but you say they just became a moron they might vote for you as you didn't personally insult them.
As a society, we should stop blaming people for being conned, falling into cults, etc.
As a society we really need to figure out how half our population joined a cult.
.... and I reserve the right to judge them if their actions lead to people dying (i.e. anti-choice folks). I, at least, don't permanently judge people. People can grow and become better - if they're willing to put in the effort.
Oh, that's simple. Plenty of people were already racist, and plenty more were willing to drink the Kool-aid
As recently as the 1990s, 90% of the USA was Christian. So, good question.
As we shouldn't judge people for their addictions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Even if they're addicted to reality TV?
Especially if their addiction is Reality TV, that shit is sneaky and dangerous.
Like Jersey Shore sounds awful, but wait till Reality TV finds your favorite hobby or a special interest of yours to make a show about, then you'd understand.
Yeah though he does seem to be crusading against hinges these days
