    I feel like “Republican” is its own derogatory category now.

    “Don’t be a Republican, care about your neighbor” or “Don’t be a Republican, check the facts” feel like completely reasonable things to say because Republicans have basically stereotyped themselves.

      “Love thy neighbor” gets responses.

      So does “What would Jesus do” about immigrants, homeless, etc.

      “I love how you ask yourself ‘what would Jesus do’ and then do the opposite” is a break the glass response for genuinely monstrous statements.

    Clearly she’s afraid of weak gay people, that’s why she’s wearing tacticool gear while running through a historically LGBTQ friendly neighborhood.

    “In America, you can be anything you want. So don’t be weak and gay."

    So in the US I can be anything I want… except if I want to be weak and gay.

    Any other exceptions I should know off?

    Right wing: “Don’t be woke and gay”

    Centrist: “Be whatever, it’s okay. Just so long as I get paid.”

    Left wing: “Be gay, do crimes”

      People like to throw around the meme “least idiotic political take on Lemmy”

      This might be the most idiotic.

      Maybe I’m hallucinating because I can’t find it, but I swear there was a Nietzsche bit about “It is a weak man who walks around in armor.” In this case it’s literal armor.

      Full-torso resistance training. Sissy joggers in their lightweight tank-tops; do your 5k in full combat kit and be a real wo/man.

      Do I need to add the “/s”?

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!
