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!

Armed minorities are harder to oppress
Armed minorities are what led to the start of the biggest gun restrictions in California, enacted by Republican politicians.
Can also recommend looking into local HEMA clubs as a step in that direction depending on your goals. Generally they tend to be queer friendly (if not queer themselves) and can help you learn some melee combat basics, which may be more relevant depending on your environment. I learned a lot from axe-and-shield fighting, even though it's not directly applicable in most real world situations. But the silly Viking shit was fun enough to make me really love showing up and practicing, and it helped me get confident using an axe. So now I feel comfortable open carrying a utility axe for self-defense with a lot of plausible deniability. Also taught me how to deal with a riot shield :3
Fuck yeah!
LGBT, blacks and women have been the largest gun buying demographic for a few years. Some of you suburban white boys need to ask yourself why before you end up on a train ride you never thought could happen.
I'm a straight, middle-aged white dude, but I have no fear wearing my gear out and about.

"Millions" is a huge understatement, considering they play multiple times during NFL games.
I love that my existence is apparently worth millions upon millions
Media: John and Jane American, what are your biggest concerns about the future?
J&J: The price of groceries, housing, climate change, essentially the economy and my ability to live a comfortable life.
Trump: LEMME REGULATE YOUR GENITALIA! HATE PEOPLE THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! VOTE FOR ME!
Magoos: mmhmm! He really cares about us!
Elon has the money!
In Montana, a battleground senate state, we basically have two political ads from the R side
-
IMMIGRANTS are BROWN
-
TRANS people playing SPORTS
It's literally so fucking tiring.
Personally, I'm for less sports in general. But I like playing frisbee and you can't subscribe to that on television.
Well that's understandable I am pretty powerful. i'd be scared of me too, if I was a fascist fuck. As soon as I get my super strength it's over for them.
In the meantime I'm volunteering for election protection efforts.
Because that will fix the country. /s
Those fucking ads are ruining one of the few things i have to enjoy, football. I'm just trying to watch the game and then get to hear a very expensive fuck you from people that hate me crying about people getting legitimate healthcare.
