Politics
For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.
Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.
Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.
Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body. More info

Fuck off. Trump didn't betray anyone, you betrayed yourself and everyone else by supporting him. Trump isn't really capable of a betrayal. He stands for nothing but himself, and has made it publicly clear that he will attack anyone he considers a threat to himself, and will support anyone that he considers a friend.
Trump is a beast operating solely off his amygdala. Betrayal is only capable by beings capable of rational thought.
Yeah. It's a betrayal of anyone who thought of themselves needing to be loyal to him, or even loyal to the system as a whole, instead of to the human principles behind it. In a perfect world that wouldn't be too many people still at this point.
I don't want to be especially hard on anyone who is just now figuring out that he is in every sense the enemy though, whatever his position or level of support with people. Even if it's way late for them to come to that determination and share it, I'll take it.
Honestly, I cannot give them that same kindness. Trump showed his colors in 2016-2020. To still support him in 2020 and 2024, only to finally now come to this realization?
It's way too late, the man has been an out and proud fascist for way too long. If anyone is still surprised, I'd want to study their brain activity. I'd be impressed if they still had any.
