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!

Does he think Maga cares?
They're openly racist and are proud of it, Elmo buying Twitter was a large part of them feeling comfortable to go mask off.
Some do, just through a very different lens:
I didn't make it all thru the video.
But when people like that say "college should have X% of minorities" they're not saying they're gonna help accomplish that. It's a dig that they're not and an implication that it's their fault.
They're definitely not talking about DEI.
But trump apparently saying if you graduate from a US college you get a green card....
That's not going to sit well with any Republican who wouldn't save money on labor costs.
Bannon and trump aren't the same entity. MAGA and trump aren't even the same.
If Republicans split over this, trump will try to stay out of it because he's a pussy. Elmo will head the b Oligarch half and someone like Bannon will try to capture the MAGA movement.
I suspect Trump will change try to sell Musk’s position to his base. He’s not really ideologically driven, he’s driven by what benefits him personally, and like it or not, selling sacks of excrement was Trump’s strength even before he got into politics.
He'll 100% drop MAGA, voters can't help him anymore, billionaires can.
And racists hate being dropped by someone more than they hate minorities. They're not gonna stop being racists because trump told them too. They're gonna focus all their anger on him for the switch.
We're gonna see more rightwing attempts on his life.
trump was never driving the MAGA base, it's a tsunami wave that he managed to surf for a while, but he could never control the wave, and he'll likely be pulled under by it and slammed against the shore.
I know how they think, the county I grew up voted 95% trump in the last three elections. I moved long ago, but I know how they think.
