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.

- 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!

My bio teacher in high school was a hard-core snake-handling tongue-speaking nut. She was also the head of the Bible club.
Should have seen how quickly my As turned to Cs after I told her that despite her protestations, I wanted to learn about evolution and didn't belive in creationism.
Biology teacher in public school..."Evolution is a myth that the tyrannical federal government demands I teach but first let me read you the truth about what really happened: 'In the beginning, God created...'"
My favorite was when she gave me detention for admitting I was an atheist, after she called my mom and my mom said "So what?". Guess she thought I was gonna get a holy beat down, imagine her disappointment.
Depending on where this took place she was definitely playing the odds on you getting beaten. Bless her heart.
I was 15, and it was the first time in my life that I saw someones attitude towards me completely change due to the mere fact that I didnt share their religious beliefs. First time, but sadly not the last.
How fucking fragile their beliefs must truly be if they cant even tolerate someone thinking differently than they do like, as a concept, to the point of acting like a total fucking bitch to a child from that day forward.
But...after decades more life experience...all I can say is pretty much par for the course.
Thank christ I got the fuck out of the Bible belt. I no longer live somewhere were institutionalized bigotry is so widely accepted. Like, for example, the time I was threatened with physical violence by a cop after being spotted walking home from the gas station with a Marilyn Manson tshirt only a few months after my Bio teacher crashed out when confronted with my atheism.
Haha some parent had a spectacular meltdown at my school the day after Columbine because my friend was wearing a MM shirt. Fuck these people they’re the same in every generation. They got a disease.
