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!

GOP: we hate brown people! Especially Mexicans!
Latinos in the US: that's my guy!
...like, what? The hell???
Around here many of them voted for Trump due to not being able to stomach voting for a woman. Thats based on conversations, not a high population poll so make of it what you will.
Meanwhile, actual central and South American countries have elected women to the highest office on multiple occasions
Buddy of mine was a DACA kid whose parents are extreme bolsanaro/trump nutjobs, and he is as well. They went so far as to get their own citizenship but demanded he earn his own. He was actually curious about my side of the story, but not because he could be persuaded of anything, he just wanted to hear what a leftist in this country thinks.
Dude was all about the machismo. He couldn't get a license but drove a truck anyway, wasn't allowed to own guns but bought them anyway, etc and was VERY paranoid about police and getting kicked out of the country. This was about 10 years ago almost.
He always said he'd vote for Trump if he could. Wonder where he is now.
Machismo was a huge reason for my Latin friends. Second highest reason was they were already citizens and ready to pull up the ladder on anyone who wasn’t. Most were actually rich enough to benefit too. They share all the higher points of conservatives. Fuck you I got mine.
And now they get to have leopards eat their face. Zero sympathy.
Everyone seems to be really surprised that racism spans all races
