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.

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.

Not surprising. They haven't learned to take care or think for themselves.
Well, I think that's a little bad faith. I think if Hitler rose from the dead and took control of America or the UN or something you'd be distressed as well. This is more the result of buying too many media lies for too long than people just straight up not being able to think.
(I struggle to see how someone who gets all their facts and news from CNN or MSNBC aren't able to think as well as people who watch Fox News, the information presented almost always lines up with the narratives they are portraying)
Didn't take long for Hitler to arrive at the party 😊 That is why you need to have a free float of ideas and news. I like X from that perspective. A ton of other viewpoints than mine are presented there in my timeline as well. The left just doesn't seem to be interested in exchanging ideas.
I never block anyone because of his/her opinion unless the person is rude. I truly believe most people want the best for everyone though. They just have different opinions how to achieve that.
Sure, but that didn't happen. I find hilarious that they think that.
I commented with another commenter who said he’d started smoking again since Trump won the election.
I told him I made it through the Biden admin while steadily improving my own mental health and just got downvoted to hell for it.
Leftists tend to think individuals are socially constructed. That’s a serious disadvantage when it comes to operating under (what they perceive as) hostile circumstances.
Yep!
Nope. And the Lemmy democrats were so in favor of an echo-chamber that they pushed to ban and remove anyone who didn't worship their every move. Then they were shocked they lost. LMAO
I don't get the echo-chamber thing. Usually that is because you haven't got enough faith in your own arguments. Similar to religious fanatics - opposing their beliefs can get you killed. Everybody makes mistakes and is wrong sometimes and that certainly applies to our governments. Trump will make a bunch of them too, pretty sure the average conservative will not agree with everything he does.
Yeah, I just saw a thread from a few days ago trying to ban me. A big thread from a few weeks ago advocated banning me across the entire fediverse.
All because I post news articles about Trump. I don't write them. And I don't even advocate for everything he does. But I post opinions against the norm, so they wanna ban me!
If ya go to your search bar and search for "I'm Calling For the Fediverse to Ban UniversalMonk" thread, it was posted to [email protected]), you'll see they are mad just because I post about Trump. Even tho I didn't vote for him! And they wanted me posted from the entire fediverse! lmao
Over 300 upvotes. I have a picture of it in my profile. I'd post the link, but I don't know how to link to the article when it's on a different instance.
Like they are working sooo hard to make this an echo chamber.
By the way, I just noticed your instance name.I'm on that instance! Seems more balanced than most!
Instance if very small - not much traffic and local content yet. I sometimes add some interesting (imho) libertarian stuff there. Currently mainly about economics and Argentina. I'm not the admin - that's Bobr
I argued with a leftist recently who thought it made perfect sense for the Biden administration to cut all contact with the Putin administration.
The left seems to view information and points of view as a sort of fluid that simply mixes in a person’s head.
They don’t believe in their own ability to consider an alternate point of view without adopting it, nor to speak with someone they disagree with, without becoming brainwashed by that person.
Like not wanting your blue water to come into contact with any red water because then your blue will get more red.
The left seems to be united, but that is only because they have one common enemy. Some really think he is the new Hitler and then there is no room for any nuance.
I don't believe anyone on the left supports wasting money on ridiculous projects though. Also the woke agenda is not supported by everyone. Hopefully once the dust has settled from the Trump administration, the left will take a good look at themselves and start to acknowledge some of their biggest mistakes.
As a European I am glad Trump is shaking things up. Europe is turning into Latin America - overregulated and overtaxed with a lot of network corruption.
Yep, many on Lemmy believe that if you don't hate Trump, then you are a nazi. I know, because many accuse me of that very thing! lol
I didn't vote for him, but I love that he is shaking things up. Getting things done and shaking up the status quo.
I'm a leftist but I spend my time reading right leaning media. The Hitler analogy bares fruit. Quoting verbatim from mein kamph, blaming dei on helicopter crash, good people on both sides, Elon seig heil. The right doesn't condemn it, they excuse it or support it. It would be nice to see a negative reaction. But we know what we re up against. Now go ahead and defend , deflect and denigrate.
