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!

You're spectacularly wrong there. It's like anything else. Sometimes kids turn out to be clones of their parents, sometimes they turn into the opposite, or even something better. Pretty shitty mindset.
Either way, I hope you don't cut yourself on that edge.
Yeah, good thing all the kids of Trump turned against him.
Keyword: Sometimes
Keyword: Saying someone is spectacularly wrong, then mentioning that they are 50% right. 1D chess move
I never implied a 50% ratio. You did all on your own because you lack reading comprehension.
I see 2x sometimes, so I assumed it is a 50% ratio. In the end it does not matter. How can someone be fully wrong, if the outcome is not 100% guaranteed? That is just some logic on a new dimension
You're still fucking wrong.
About what? That Trump kids copied the ideology of their daddy? Are you okay?
Keyword: two sentences is not a word
And 6 words is…?
Uh, I think so. Is it not?
Of course you're right that kids can turn out to be completely different from their parents, but they do have a huge disadvantage when they grow up hearing everyone around them spew hate and lies. Getting out of that requires exposure to new ideas and an openness to embracing them.
I know a teenager who is really struggling to make sense of the world outside of his parents insanity. He has already learned alcoholism from them, but we'll see if he keeps hating gays and "Mexicans" too... Poor kid is a mess. Fun fact: his dad is a cop. Will wonders never cease?
How many times did you vote for Trump? Just the first time?
