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!

This will fall on deaf ears, but Oklahoma (and the rest of the south) needs to start voting these clowns out of office and onto the street.
The majority of the southern states identity (not that part) has long since been reduced to a caricature of itself.
All being a southerner requires now is access to your divine guide: whatever the most recent pop country album is. It's just advertisement set to country tunes.
If anything I'd say the least free group in America is your typical 'country boy.'
I know a shit ton of people in southern states and not a got dang one of them likes country. Or Western!
(now there is some overlap in the rockabilly and singer-songwriter types, and Nashville is where a ton of musician hotshots live, but straight top 40 radio Barf Grits country - nah.)
Yeah, it's more a commentary on the whole current 'country' lifestyle. Texan? Buy all the things with a single star on it or you aren't Texas enough. Southern? Get that truck. Gotta lift it. Biggest tires you can find. It's all just the most degenerate capitalism with a dixie wrapper on it.
At what point is that just acceptance of their shitty policies? Is that too passive of a stance?
