Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone's minds. It's certainly on mine.

But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, "By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America's finest news source." A lot of stories being posted lately don't even remotely fit that.

That doesn't mean political stories aren't allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it's a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don't fit.

I mean, those are the posts that get the most comments and votes.... and most posts only come from a handful of people...

Not a political community? The evidence isn't supporting that. Anti-LGBGTQ people being ridiculous isn't oniony, it's just Wednesday.
