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!

Ironically, probably not. Reality has this pernicious way of ignoring politics, and kids are incredibly good at outfoxing parental controls on the Internet. There's at least two libraries in the US that offer free digital library cards to any minor in or out of state, and there's lots of podcasts and online communities that value evidence-based truth.
Basically the book-banning, while wholly reprehensible, is a fight they've already lost, and it only riles up the Conservative Boomers who are too ignorant to know it.
Absolutely - though the efforts will certainly still do damage.
Raising dumber kids to own the libs...
Lol. Years ago I was joking that I was surprised fruit loops hadn't been targeted yet. Clearly with the name and rainbow of colors they support..... love and freedom. Can't be having that hahaha.
Wait till they find out about lucky charms.
They’ll bring back “No Irish Need Apply” signs
Banned from the house after picking out the marshmallows LoL.
Don't have any kids, guess I'm gonna have to buy a box of Froot Loops. Luckily I have unused marshmallows and butter from Thanksgiving, so I can make 🌈 cereal bars.
Careful: when all the colors mix it's just gray. (I once put Smarties in a whipped cream layer of a cake. It came out opposite of what I had in mind.)
Oh no. Now what will all their grown, adult children eat for breakfast?
Haha! Try banning those books.
They probably are already
~~Conservatives~~ Right-Wingers Are Boycotting Froot Loops for Creating a Library of Diverse Children's Books Online
Because their behavior is anything but "conservative".
Immigrants, transgender people, vaccines, voting machines, feminists, clothing with rainbows, and children's books are among the things that frighten and anger conservatives.
Hard to imagine being such a coward that you fear breakfast cereal.
Conservatives ARE fruit loops!
