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!

Because Trump said no abortions. That's literally it, it doesn't really get deeper. As long as he says "yeah sure no abortions" they will follow him into oblivion. He's doing "god's will" and everything, even the existence of this country comes second to that. They do not want a free democracy, they want a Christian ethnostate.

In saving babies they're going to kill so many more people. More disease, more hunger, more depression and suicide, more desperation and violence are on their way. They've ensured every fetus will live long enough to regret being born.
They've been so well trained by the conservative propaganda machine that this doesn't even compute for them. Or they do enough mental gymnastics to convince themselves that the people dying deserve it. My sibling was one of the federal workers cut by musk. We were hoping that musk hurting one of their kids directly would wake them up. But no, elon is going to save america, we have no idea what we are talking about. They didn't even know who this guy was before November. It's like their brains were hacked, I can't explain it any other way. When I was little, my dad would tell us that we were all made in god's image and that no matter who, we all deserved a happy life. Now he tells us about how he's suspicious of the "immigrants" at the supermarket. They've changed so much it breaks my heart
Fighting for equal rights versus drifting with the tide of religion and right wing politics. They got old. They're tired. This way is so much easier. And I'm assuming they're relatively wealthy white people so probably nothing will happen to them.
