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!

Popular podcast host Joe Rogan officially endorsed Donald Trump on the eve of the election, a move Trump’s team swiftly touted as a major win in the final hours of their campaign.

"Well Kamala didn't suck up to me and spend three hours on me"

Rogan, probably.

All Rogan's children are girls and he's happy to endorse the man who will make them slaves to men their whole lives.

I hope his children all dump his ass and he never hears from them in adulthood and wonders why.

That's one of my favorites to bring up to parents of daughters that are Trump supporters. "So you support a man that forcibly raped a woman and wants to know they schedule and status off your daughter's vagina all of the time?" Make it personal because most won't change until it affects them.

Rich white people have a long history of "giving away" their daughters. Let alone the insanity of debutante balls and the like. And just look at what they think medieval times was (there is a reason anyone with a basic understanding of history rolls their eyes at all the rape fantasies of shit like GoT/ASOIAF).

They view their daughters as property, plain and simple. And many take it even farther and consider them property to be "used".

I have a buddy that's about to pop the question to his partner, and the topic of asking the father for permission came up, and it's just so fucking dumb. I didn't ask my father in law, but if I did and he said no, I would just laugh and tell him his opinion doesn't actually matter, and maybe I'd next see him at the wedding for the last time.

Rogan is rich. The rules don't apply to the rich. His daughters will thrive in an unequal world.

I'm confused about this. I know Trump is not a fan of women, but he said that he wants women to be slaves???

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

They want to ban abortion AND no-fault divorce.

So once they're married with a baby in their belly, no matter what abuse they endure, they will not be able to request a divorce, because they essentially need their husbands permission first.

I wouldn't be surprised if they also pushed policies to punish unmarried adults, to force more women into unhappy marriages with incels who had no ability to attract a mate under any other circumstances.

So excuse the hyperbole, but it's essentially putting women in a position where they may as well be a slave.

I don't think Trump cares about that stuff...

[–] immutable@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

The man personally probably doesn’t give a shit. He wants power and admiration and if someone like Stephen Miller says “hey this plan I have for changing how divorce and abortion work is good for your campaign / presidency” then he will go along with it.

The threat of a man like trump is not that he personally wants to do a bunch of bad things (although he does seem to think a lot of awful ideas with clear history and mechanism of not working, like tariffs, are smart and good). It’s that he doesn’t care about the people around him that want to do awful things.

I dunno maybe ask the ex-wife he violently raped because he got a bad and painful hair transplant how Trump felt about controlling women.

Oh wait you can't because she conveniently died from a fall while he was President and then was unceremoniously buried on his golf course.

But you're not wrong, Trump wants that level of control over every American, not just the women.
