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'm surprised that MAGA and trumpism isn't just a kink play scene. The images are all an over the top fertile homoerotic muscleman. They are always talking about cuckolding and there's always some strange power dynamics at play. Throw in racist and sexist undertones and you got everything. You couldn't make it more of a kink power play / humiliation / cuckolding scene if you tried.

The fact it's a legitimate political movement is what is odd about it.

I don't usually kink shame, but I'm going to start.

They will like that.

The obsession with calling everyone "cucks" comes from the white supremacist scene that created the "alt-right". It's intended to mean "race traitor" more than it's intended go kink shame.

Well I agree with you that "cucks" comes from the alt right I'm sure it still comes from cuckolding porn / kink. Unless you are studying Shakespeare you will only see the word related to the kink. While it once meant any man who was cheated it's now only used by the kink. If it means race traitor it must have to do with the fact that the Bull is typically a large black man in the porn.

There's some pretty good scientific evidence that fear and arousal are linked especially in a sex negative and shame based cultures. So the connection isn't that strange

That is exactly the reason.
