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!

Obligatory reminder that while Christianity is declining, to the point that Nones may surpass them as the majority in 50 years, Fundamentalist Evangelicalism is rising in spite of that overall decline. People are either leaving mainstream forms of Christianity entirely or to join up with these weirdos.
And having escaped one of these cults myself, they are well-suited bedfellows with fascism.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to take anything evangelicals say seriously.
They talk about personal integrity and morals and being gentle and letting your speech be gracious. Yet, they support a leader who is and does the exact opposite. And then proceed to mimic him.
Way to trash your own witness.
Even when I was still drinking the Jesus juice a decade ago I could see this in my church. It's the main reason I left. Sermons would preach one thing, which the congregation would agree with, but then immediately after I would hear people gossiping about how Marsha has a gay son so she's going to hell, or Tom's daughter got pregnant out of wedlock so they were shunning them. I grew up with several of these peoples kids and knew for a fact they were nowhere close to saints. Rampant. Hypocrisy. It's wild that they're so willfully ignorant. It's all just projection of their own guilt.
