What's happened to Rallypoint? Every post is a shitty political cartoon making fun of trump or biden, people are advocating violence for against trans people, and the pervasiveness of obvious meme accounts? I thought this was supposed to be a professional site ala LinkedIn, which while bad in its own way, doesn't hold a candle to what's going on here.

Sounds like one of the posts I did last year as well as the follow-up posts to the community since then*. It's a reflection of the times and the partisanship that seems to exist on a wide range of topics.
Based on your profile, you're new to the platform unless this is a covert account. I saw your first post was recent activity on a six year old post. The individual you referenced as advocating for violence against trans people was one of those "indirect advocations" (i.e., "I think a bus full of lawyers going over a cliff would be funny" vs "Everyone needs to go out and kill a lawyer since they are scourges on humanity!"). However, the comment has been removed.
We have a number of partisans who like nothing better than shouting into the echo chamber as they would do on any social media platform (I've even seen an EFMP thread getting political because invariably someone is going to shout something partisan). They are free to post those comments as long as they adhere to the community standards* - RP staff nor the member administrators silence someone based on ideology. As such, they are free to post whatever else they want to, and everyone else is free to ignore those posts.
If something is against the standards, please let the RP staff or a member administrator know by a direct message.
My advice is the same that SGM Erik Marquez gave in the first link below (longing for the old days...). Stay in the Answers Forum. Those are controlled closely and aren't allowed to become partisan dumping grounds (or rather, they aren't any more ... there are a few that fell through the cracks early on).

Longing for the old days ... where did they go? *sigh* ... I vaguely remember RallyPoint, when it first started, having posts that were actually focused on a lot of Service oriented questions. Questions from folks about how this or that was affected by a policy, a new regulation, or something else. Questions asking about someone experience when they were at this post or that base. Questions about opinions about different ways of doing things...

That's because the military is suffering under Joe biden. This parody came out 5 years ago but I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.
The military budget is being cut back after considering inflation yet Green New Deal entities are getting 20% more than the military budget after inflation. Self-inflicted by Joe who left Afghanistan and now Russia has invaded Ukraine and China is invading Taiwan shortly because our president is across between Mr Magoo and Mr Rogers

So, we have a field grade officer disrespecting the CIC openly online. Sir, may I ask you to provide you definition of insubordination?

SPC Terry Gruetzmacher - Insubordination? You're kidding, right? The CIC is a blithering idiot! There, I said it. Does that make it any more palatable for ya, coming from a fellow "full bird private"?

The person who recommended this site to me presented it as a place for military & ex military to hang out. As such, I've treated this place much like any other forum I've belonged to in the past. I look at forums kinda like saloons. Go in, hang out, see what's going on, maybe chit-chat with somebody, or a bunch of somebodies. Sometimes there's a good crowd, other times not so much. Oh well.

It is very hard to turn someone against their beliefs if they are rgid on how they feel. Ive spent many years first n the Navy on a ddg then working in Human services dealing directly with people, especially thos compromised like in MH Hospital with YS, Alcohol Rehab,NH, and for the Va taking care of those 75 + Veterans. Politics has a way of getting into opinions and ruining the narrative depending on what side youre on.
