A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".
This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.
Rules:
-
Always follow .world instance rules
-
Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.
-
Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.
-
Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
-
Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.
Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.
-
No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.
-
Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.
A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.
- Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way somewhere in your post. Either in the title or the meme itself.
For more general political memes please see [email protected]
-
Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
-
Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.
-
For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.
And above all, HAVE FUN!

Lol. That's the only reason you see that I could possibly not want to further alienate fellow Americans.
I support unions. I am a leftist. We are already a nation divided. We can and should work to correct that. The Treaty of Versailles wasn't a great idea on the world stage. The equivalent accountant working class domestically isn't, either.
They’re alienating themselves. Nothing you do will appease them short of weakening your position enough for them to attack it. The right has turned feral.
You don’t need to go out of your way to be cruel, but they can absolutely go fuck themselves and being called out on their bullshit is fine by me.
But sure, waste your effort being nice to them. It must feel so good being “above” having to address anything.
You are doing what you accuse them of doing. In addressing plenty, and it's working. Oddly because they are willing to find common ground and go from there.
In what fucking world is the far-right doing anything in good faith? They say they are, and they are always lying. They move the goalposts so much that the field is a perforated mess and you’re still falling for it.
There is no common ground in all the world that would ever set foot on which contains “you can oppress trans people based on no evidence a little”. There is no middle ground for “I get that we’re both worried about the economy but since you are fully economically illiterate and have zero empathy for working class people I suppose we can do a half-measure that will ultimately not work very well just to make you feel better.”
No, that time was decades ago. I do not compromise with fascists, and if you truly believe that the middle ground hasn’t been abandoned then maybe you need to wake up and realize that the vast majority is either already on it or to the right of it. The Democrats are not leftists, they are centrists at best save for a small handful of them. Infinitely better than the GOP, this is not a both sides issue, but holy fuck the scales are not balanced.
