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!

I assume MTG masturbates to kids books about diverse families, because she keeps calling that stuff “porn.”

Projection is a common trait amongst bullies. Just sayin..

She must have meant her good friend convicted felon Donald Trump.

Or maybe she meant her other good friend— sex predator and sex trafficking teenager date raper, Matt Gaetz.

Probably tough to keep everyone straight with all that bottled bleach leaching into her already stunted fetal alcohol syndrome pea-brain.

No, she was talking about her other friend, Gym Jordan...

Honestly though how does MTG even have any political standing or platform, if literally anyone else did what she's done their career would've ended a long time ago

[–] mriguy@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago

She has political standing because the right wing media finds her constant insane shrieking useful, so they continue to platform her. It draws attention away from things they don’t want you talking about, like income inequality, looming fascism, environmental distraction… basically everything they are working so hard to achieve.

Any mental effort they can get people to waste responding to her is effort not being put towards making the world a better place for someone other than billionaires.

Americans injecting pedophilia everywhere is driving me nuts. The worst part? Everyone is doing it. Think of some new slurs for fucks sake.

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 9 points 3 months ago

There's a lot of insane lynch mobs you can tap into that way. You even see it all around Lemmy.

Oh, Margie, NO! You tried to peddle your lunatic conspiracy theories but you didn't even know how to pronounce the word "cabal" and said "cable." Your ignorant dumb ass got called out when you tried to invent new things to be scared of. Margie, I think you're about as smart as a stupid dog that got run over chasing cars.
