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!

his base is the one that uses crypto.
Trump literally stole from his own voters.
And his voters are like "Please daddy, fuck me like you want to fuck your own sons"
Trump is many things but he is not gay for his own sons. One of his daughters, sure (it ain't you Tiff). Other hot men (his sons aren't hot), sure. He's very very gay for hot sweaty men
But also, Maga aren't using crypto. They're far too stupid for that. Do you think any of them could pass a kyc check? Do you think any of them understand what it means to open a wallet, save your keys and join a market? These are folk who still believe the pedo ring is a democrat cabal when the truth is starting them in the face.
They definitely bought trump coin and doge coin. They may not understand crypto, but they still spend money on scams all the same.
could also have been a way to bribe trump. Qatar buys 2 million trump coins from trump.. etc
MAGA definitely invested in the coins and lost big.

I think many many many of them are just competent enough to do just that, yes.
They may not be able to spot logical fallacies, understand basic logic and spot a grifting scam artist when they see one, but I believe lots of people have just enough literacy and skills to muddle their way through buying meme stocks and meme coins.
