Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Wow... Someone must really have to hate themselves to vote for a man who considers their entire race to be thieves rapists and drug addicts who steal and eat people's pet dogs...

They don't believe him. They think he's just saying shit. Plus they do not care. They see him as a means to an end. They are already here and they want theirs.

They are already here and they want theirs.

This is it. They're trying to pull the ladder up behind themselves. "I got mine, fuck you." They don't realize that as far as the racists are concerned, they're in the "get fucked" demographic.

Selfishness, greed, racism, and sociopathy have a lot of overlap.

To be perfectly blunt, I’m at the point where I’m going to point and laugh at literally any Trump voter that gets absolutely fucked by anything Trump does. We are very, very much in “fuck around and find out” territory. Some people are simply incapable of learning unless they fall on their own face.

I'd be very interested in that study. A lot of articles pointing to Latinos Catholic, interviews saying they were worried about the economy, some like Cubans constantly saying dumbass crap about socialism like a Real American^tm.

NPR this afternoon and some experts how many immigration could the trump admin really could deport on day one. 300K - 1M.

They also went on about the economic impact not that was a whole other ball of schadenfreude.

Looking forward to the multiple ways the leopard will eat their faces here.

They will feast as never before.

It's just sexism. There's nothing complicated to understand here about Trump being more appealing to Latino voters because of policy or speeches or whatever. There's only one reason they voted for Trump over Harris, and everything else is prevarication & rationalization.
