Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Let's be more honest. Both sides are horrible.
Yes, one side is "trying to set up detention camps, threatening to kill political rivals, consumed with hate". The other side isn't trying to better people. The vast majority (there are a handful of exceptions) of people in politics are trying to gain power and money for themselves and for their friends.
The biggest difference is that they haven't yet crossed the line into actively trying to destroy our democracy.
That's certainly enough reason to support that side over the other one. But it's not the "good side".
Bunch of career politician parasites the lot of them.
Their only interest is in getting re-elected. If it can't be fixed in four years, it won't get done because it's the next guy's problem.
