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!

You can’t be a GOP and not be drinking the koolaid in 2025.
My dad doesn’t like Trump, gets vaccinated, and his best friend is the nephew of labor organizer Walter Reuther (that friend is a staunch democrat). But, he dislikes all democrats more than he dislikes Trump because he believes that all democrats want to raise his taxes. Classify that however you want.
Did he cast a vote for Trump?
He did. And in the last three presidential elections, I voted for Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton and I dislike all three of them and I dislike the democrats.
People contain multitudes and don’t always fit neatly into the boxes that society tries to put them in.
Sure they do. He’s a MAGA. He votes for convicted rapists.
I mean no offense to you, but your dad is a bad person.
And you formed a strong opinion on someone you’ve never met, based on one thing. I don’t mean any offense but that’s the sort of thing a bad person does.
I don’t need to meet a person to know that if they vote for Project 2025 they’re a bad person. And you know this.
Lol no his dad is one of the good Nazis.
👍
Was he a bad person when he was working as a nurse for 45 years? Was he a bad person when he moved in with his mom in his 20s to help her out when his dad died? Was he a bad person when he volunteered at twice a month at a local food shelter? Was he a bad person when he took photos for the sports teams I was on and paid for a kid’s pictures out of his own pocket because the family couldn’t afford them?
Again, you know one thing. You don’t know why he voted that way, I said before, he is a single issue voter, taxes, period.
Don’t bother responding, those were rhetorical questions and I’m tired of conversing with someone so close minded.
Lots of people do things that are good, but then all those things are nulled by the massive damage they do by voting for and supporting pure evil.
As the other user said, your dad is one of the “good” Nazis.
