A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Your all-caps rants, excessive swearing, and “I will never ever ever EVER vote for a Democrat” suggest otherwise.

Nope. lol

You’re still hung up on a meme community while openly supporting politicians who are actively stripping rights from marginalized people.

Not hung up on it all. It's just that it shows how much you aren't to be taken seriously--you are just anti-republican, regardless of policy. You don't take me seriously and I certainly don't take you seriously.

There’s a difference between mocking harmful ideas and mocking people.

And you actually mock people.

Conservative policies have real, harmful impacts on vulnerable communities.

In your opinion. But you didn't win the election, so not everyone agrees with you.

There was a criticism of your actions not fitting the spirit of the community by you wanting to take it over. And you replied that there was no Lemmy rule that you had to follow the spirit of a community that you took over.

Which means that you have no intention on letting conservative voices be heard.

So following your logic, there is no Lemmy rule that I have to defend every news article I post. I post links to news articles. Nothing makes you click on them. I have every right to do it and I will continue to do it.

You lost. That's it. Lemmy's opinion isn't shared by the majority of the public.

You keep posting jokes, and I'll keep posting articles. Let's see which party wins the next election.

Great counterargument. Very convincing.

Not hung up on it all. It's just that it shows how much you aren't to be taken seriously--you are just anti-republican, regardless of policy.

I've repeatedly tried to discuss specific policies throughout this entire conversation. You're the one who admitted "I don't give a fuck" about policy and just "like Trump." The projection is astounding.

And you actually mock people.

Says the person who's spent this entire thread mocking "Lemmy jerks" and celebrating others' suffering.

In your opinion. But you didn't win the election, so not everyone agrees with you.

Electoral victory doesn't determine objective reality. Policies that remove healthcare, cut food assistance, and target marginalized groups cause measurable harm regardless of how many people voted for them. That's not opinion its documented fact.

Which means that you have no intention on letting conservative voices be heard.

Conservative voices are heard everywhere Faux News, OAN, Congress, the White House, the Supreme Court, Truth Social. The idea that conservatives are being silenced while controlling most levels of government is absurd victimhood.

So following your logic, there is no Lemmy rule that I have to defend every news article I post.

Post whatever you want. Just don't be surprised when people call out misinformation or propaganda.

You lost. That's it. Lemmy's opinion isn't shared by the majority of the public.

You keep coming back to "you lost" like it's some devastating gotcha. Electoral outcomes don't determine moral rightness. Segregation was once popular to.

You keep posting jokes, and I'll keep posting articles. Let's see which party wins the next election.

And there it is you've reduced politics to a team sport (yet again) where "winning" matters more than the actual impact on people's lives

celebrating others’ suffering.

When have I ever celebated "suffering"?

Electoral outcomes don’t determine moral rightness

But it's your OPINION. Some don't agree with you and they have their own moral rightness.

Like I said, you gone and keep posting your memes. I'll keep posting links to news articles. And we'll see who wins next election.

When have I ever celebated "suffering"?

You said: "I will never EVER vote for a Democrat. I would rather watch the world burn" and "You deserve Trump. And I will fucking laugh about it every single day." You're explicitly celebrating policies that cause harm because they upset people you don't like.

But it's your OPINION. Some don't agree with you and they have their own moral rightness.

No, it's not just opinion that removing healthcare causes suffering. It's not just opinion that cutting food assistance increases hunger. These are measurable outcomes with real human consequences. When people lose access to insulin and die, that's not a difference of opinion, it's preventable tragedy.

This "everything is just an opinion" stance is a way to avoid engaging with the actual human impacts of policies. It's a cop-out that lets you ignore the consequences of what you support.

Like I said, you gone and keep posting your memes. I'll keep posting links to news articles. And we'll see who wins next election.

And we're back to treating politics like a sport rather than something that determines whether people live or die. You've made it abundantly clear that "winning" matters more to you than the welfare of your fellow citizens.

Post whatever you want. But don't pretend your motivation is anything other than tribal identity and spite.
