Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Hussein said he was in disbelief that he was told to convert or leave — for the first time in his life — at a Republican convention with the tagline, “Unity drives victory.”

That slogan, touted by the governor on press releases, placards, lanyards and even the elephant he procured to march through the convention hall, became a rallying cry for the state’s leaders and party nominees heading into November. If fractured, they warned, the party could lose the state to Democrats and their U.S. Senate nominee, Austin state Rep. James Talarico.

But in spite of that warning, members were willing to lose the support of Muslim conservatives.

...

Hussein attended a panel from the Judeo-Christian Caucus moderated by Dr. Rick Scarborough, a former Southern Baptist pastor and the president of Recover America, an organization to engage ministers and pastors in politics.

Speakers told the audience that immigrants who don’t believe in Judeo-Christian values will erode those values and create problems for America. Scarborough accused Muslims of lying to win political power.

“You’re going to find Muslims that aren’t being antagonistic or mean, at least not publicly. But I’ll guarantee, if they get power, they’ll cut your head off as believers of Christ,” he said.

To the surprise of no one, except the ignorant.

There is no racist quite like a Texas racist.

Now with extra Christian Nationalism added for extra spiciness!

(It's actually a pretty good article.)

Reminds me of all the posts we get from people trying to avoid a Reddit ban.

"How can I gain entry to this club that consists of people who don't want to have anything to do with me?"

A conservative Muslim is a still a conservative. Meaning they are evil as well. Can’t do nothing but laugh at this.

Muhtaseb, an engineer and business owner, said Muslims are conservative by nature. “We believe in Adam and Eve,” he said. “We don’t believe in this, multiple gender. We don’t drink. We don’t gamble. We are against pornography.”

Yes. All fundamentalists are the same

Almost on the level of Latino expats voting for Trump even as he vowed to get rid of all the Latinos.

Single issue voters tend to be blind AF to other issues they don't support - right up until said other issues kick them in the ass so hard that they can taste boot leather. Have the day you voted for, chuckle fucks.

Never interrupt your enemy while they're making a mistake.

There's so many layers to this 🤣 On both sides and then some...

Like... where to even start?

Genuinely, this entire interaction could be used to kick off discourse for each week's new topic of a Y1 S1's sociopolitical studies unit.

My brain's having a conflict between being impressed and an aneurysm.

Why choose? Go for broke!
