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.

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

Because the billionaire owner told them not to endorse anyone; big money tends to align with fascism.

Keep linking the reactionary propaganda site that famously had a "black crime" section though.

Fucking gross.

So Kamala is a fascist? That's ridiculous.

What a simplistic way to view the world.

Is she the one that sent a mob to the capitol to overturn an election? Oh no, that was him.

And tried seizing power with fraudulent state electors? Nope, also him.

And did a little blood libel about legal immigrants eating pets?

Sorry, that one was his running mate... who also called him a fascist, during that failed coup.

What part of this aren't you getting? It's fucking obvious. Nobody's buying projection.

I was about to argue with you here but you don't seem like you're a good-faith actor so I'll leave this be. Ain't no way you don't believe Trump called for his supporters to be peaceful the day before, right at its start, and hours after the Jan 6 riot lol

Does that fig leaf cover the fake-electors scheme? Because that was also part of the failed coup d'etat.

He could say 'we're gonna slaughter the homeless a little' and y'all would insist 'he said a little!'

How's he describe that violent mob's actions? Like they betrayed him? Nope, fully supportive. Openly defends them. Decries legal consequences for their actions. Also, that day, had to be bullied into telling them to stop. Maybe because it's fucking obvious what he actually wanted.

You don't know what bad faith is. You've just seen people call it out, and think mimicking their condemnation means something.

I am describing what he's said and done about the violence you insist he super didn't want. Does it look like he actually did not want it? Does it fuck. About the only times he hasn't demanded the mob be excused entirely is when he pretends it was secretly antifa trying to make him look bad.

CPAC's scrolling banners read "we are all domestic terrorists." How fucking obvious does agreement have to be, before you stop pretending you can nuh-uh about it?

Meanwhile: they sent fake electors to defraud congress. Feel free to have any opinion of that, instead of pretending that condemning the violent side of the coup means you can ignore the even clearer effort to reject democracy.

Is playing dumb usually a successful strategy for you?

I can't imagine it would be.

Considering she has brought in how much money? She is backed by a lot of billionaires.

It is funny for liberals to think they are fighting the system with all the billionaires on their side.

It's not a good-faith position. They won't call Kamala a fascist for getting the support of like Mark Cuban lol
