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!

You fucking want people to carry out hit jobs and beatings on politicians with no fucking regard whatsofuckingever to the the people of the community you fucking want to carry out those "targeted" violence. Lemmy's not to blame for your being a fucking pussy and wanting other people to fuck their lives up and make queer people even easier to weaponise by republicans. What the fuck do you think would happen if a trans person took a shot at the orange cunt? I'll tell you, it would lead both Dems and republicans going after trans people. Progress wasn't fucking fought for decades to have it eroded by doing something so monumentally stupid as attacking republican politicians.
As I said before it's really fucking telling that you blame Lemmy and act hostile to me when you want queer people to carry out acts of violence without giving a single thought to what shit storm that would create.
Wrong.
For the last time you dullard: I was only pointing out it's historically interesting that this particularly poorly treated group is so well behaved. The TYPE of well behaved I was referring to was not a riot. That's it. You walked in here with a bunch of baggage, made assumptions, and wrote a bunch of crap. I'm not looking for anyone to do anything, only observing it's fucking remarkable no one has.
You are incapable of consuming an observation without injecting a value into it. Grow up.
Here's my original, if you forgot:
"Blows my mind that there aren't violent LGBT folks out there. I'm not advocating violence, but I'm impressed with the self control. " tell me, which word is me calling for violence? Which word is me wanting anyone to do something for me cause I'm a "pussy"?
by saying “blows my mind” you’re saying that you think it should be the opposite: you’d expect it to be normal that LGBTQIA+ community would be violent. that expectation is a call, of sorts… like “wouldn’t surprise me if someone beat X”, you’re kinda giving someone permission
Wrong you just made an assumption. You are assuming I think that would be right, when I was merely saying it wouldn't be unexpected.
