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!

Besides being psychopaths who enjoy spreading pain and suffering I can only assume they have calculated this will somehow hurt Dems more…otherwise they are seemingly beyond all reason entirely
Poor people without medical care are more likely to end up jobless and homeless, and therefore eligible for the concentration camps they want to build.
A few years ago they were clamoring that no one would have to change doctors or plans they like, and now they don't even have to pretend to care about anyone making less than median income in the US. They should all just work for pittances until they die of preventable illnesses.
Small government, big business.
LOL, "small government". They only mean that in extremely narrowly defined ways.
I remember hearing that even the centimillionaires and billionaires were starting to write think pieces (or have them written by think tanks they fund) about how having mass inequality is not something they should be interested in, given history. Meaning, things like guillotines. Obviously, they want to be extremely wealthy, but they recognize the risks (basically, violent outcomes aimed at them) of steering too far in that direction and that some reasonable pressure valves should be in place...
I'm pretty sure that was prior to Donvict's first term and I haven't seen much about those kind of murmurings since. I guess they hope to use someone like Taco as a blunt force instrument to smash any and all opposition and funnel as much money as possible to themselves? Again, this is probably not being steered by people that are bothering to learn from history...
