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!

He's their Homelander. Only without the super powers or creepy good looks.
This season has 100% been based on Trump and they are not being shy about making it obvious.
Which is unfortunate I think. Any potential message that might resonate with trump supporters will be ignored because of that. If you make a TV show using explicit parallels like pizzagate, they can easily make that connection and ignore the overall message. It's just like pointing out their hypocrisy in real life. They may or may not still enjoy it, but the message is lost.
Homelander was ALWAYS based on trump and it's hilarious how people are only realizing it 4 seasons in.
Yeah, it's like he's a person to be emulated in an elevated fashion above themselves, just, y'know, without the morals, ethics, lack of money, everyday concerns, worries about keeping a job, whether or not they can afford healthcare, when or if the government will start regulating their bodies through oppressive laws, if they can buy a home and actually keep it, if they can afford medicine or actually be physically able to work, and if not, what happens then under Trump rule which is leaning really hard into Eugenics territory with all the "let em die" and "if they're homeless put em in camps" rhetoric.
It's almost like they they can't see the aging, fat, unhealthy, bald, dye job, fake tanned, lying, self-preservastionist piece of shit he really is.
He must be magic.
