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!

Wow... That's really... Wow...
This has been the Republican Party since Civil Rights, the Media is only now pointing it out.
Well, no. If you do not see the difference between old republicans and Trampists, you are not serious.
Discretion?
Or are we talking pre-Southern-Strategy?
The amounts of lies per second
No commitment to peaceful transfer of power
Ah fair enough. While the behavior may be different I'm increasingly convinced the thoughts and motivations have remained the same.
I really do not think so. Trump is clinically narcistic and sociopathic and his thoughts and motivation are totally screwy, even for republican.
We'll have to agree to disagree given how unpopular it remains to this day to come out against Trump as a Republican. I know it's being done, but they supported him for years, and many still do. And yes that includes any rank and file who continued to vote R and weren't on a letter writing campaign to their representatives the entire time asking them WTF they were doing to the country.
Oh! The republican behavior is similar to the past. "Though shell not vote against republican" even if it is Trump. The Trump himself, however, is unique.
Ah we've been slightly talking past each other then. My apologies if I misconstrued prior context. 🙂
Yeah, I got this gist. I was always talking about Trump himself, since he was a topic of the original post. And it looks like you were expanding conversation to the republican party, which I did not catch. I do not think we have actual disagreements then.
Yep I think you are right! 👍
And if you don't see that they are the same they've been for 50 years you are blind.
It's more like they're the same people, they just didn't realize they could still get away with it.
