Not just our bedroom. Project 2025 injects government into every aspect of our lives.

It’s what happens in a fucking dictatorship.

#VOTE!

Repubs are always for small gummint. Except when it comes to your bedroom. Or your doctor’s office. Or your library. Or your kids’ school. Or college campuses. Or cities. Or weed. Or social media. Or driving up the national debt. Or election interference.

Conservatism has always been a lie; even Abraham Lincoln called out their bullshit before he was president.

It’s simply a way to entrench their privilege by hook or by crook, usually by appropriating and corrupting the left’s language of liberation. They recast themselves as the ragtag oppressed freedom fighters when all they want is cultural and economic domination of the people they hate most: their fellow citizens.

It’s always been about using the government against those they consider The Other. They don’t want a small government; that’s a laughable notion.

Originally from The West Wing, but that’s a good line to pull.

  • Congressman Skinner: Josh, all the Marriage Recognition Act does is ensure that a radical social agenda isn’t thrust upon an entire country that isn’t ready for it yet.
  • Josh Lyman: Thirty-two states have passed laws banning same-sex marriage; the states are doing a fine job protecting themselves from a ‘radical social agenda’ without a federal shield.
  • Congressman Skinner: Josh…
  • Josh Lyman: I like you guys that wanna reduce the size of government: make it just small enough so it can fit in our bedrooms.

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!
