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!

Yesterday’s headline was about Latino voters choosing Trump for economic reasons.
No price tag.
He didn’t mean them though, just the other minorities. He knows who voted for him……..
Oh, he knows…

oh the stupidity
Meanwhile musk still hasn’t been deported for being illegal 20 years ago like that guy. Sounds about white
Whaaaaatttt? How could that happen???!!!!
You'll have to speak up. He can't hear you over the leopards.
Yes, that sounds bad. But how else should we decide who to deport? How could we decide who is a "bad immigrant"? Maybe they get citizen status and then we realized they are also a criminal? Should they then also be deported? A US citizen? Maybe yes!
I only see two solutions:
(/s, just to be sure)
I'd commit a crime just to get deported, tbh
Those get deported to Gaza camp though. (This is one of their actual plans)
The ones that can vote are all here legally. Of course some will be caught up in the dragnet anyway, but nobody told them that in so many words. They think it'll only affect others.
There are only like 2 million "illegal" Latino immigrants here. Trump/project 2025 wants to denaturalize 25 million Latinos. That would certainly include people who were born here and/or who can legally vote. Trump has stated he wants to get rid of birthright citizenship.
Wait, he's going to strip citizenship as well?
Yep.
Democrats should've probably mentioned that.
They did. The media did. We can argue that neither said it often enough or loud enough. But ultimately people in general just didn't care to listen either way. The information was out there. But people stuck with their propaganda.
Yes, that is explicitly the plan in Project 2025.
