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!

This is why they were against Rock and Roll in the 1950s.

Race mixing is always a problem for people who want to control how folks think.

The Red Scare was also aimed at the Civil Rights movement. Back in the day, the Communist Party tried to recruit anti-racists and make common cause with civil rights groups. That played into the hands of McCarthy and J. Edgar Hoover. The father of modern Conservatism, Bill Buckley, tried to play off Civil Rights being a States' Rights issue back when Eisenhower was trying to enforce Brown V. Board of Education

This article fucks up when it tries to distinguish Christian nationalism from Christofascism, they are both one and the same, just different stages along the lifecycle of the same organism. And I’m glad to see them being discussed openly but this author is not helping by trying to make one look any worse than the other

I think you have mistaken the author’s intent. The delineation isn’t to say one group is better than the other but rather to illustrate one is more toxic and that some of that toxicity is getting push back.

Republicans have always been such losers.

The answer, to the conservatives, is simple: all of them.
