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 !politicalmemes@lemmy.world
-
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!

Yes but, they put those thinga up to ridicule. They dont even bother trying to give reason why they think theyre bad.
They just put them up and go:
"Healthcare for everyone??! Thats crazy, only crazy people think that".
"Housing for everyone?!? Thats communist, and we all know thats dumb and bad".
And thats it. Their viewers go "hawhaw, dumb communists, yea thats right theyre crazy!!"
If you're going for Foxnews-speak ya gotta mix in a healthy serving of zero-sum into the rhetoric:
For Foxnews crowd its frequently a fear appeal that someone is taking from them.
The implication is that wealthy people will ultimately have to pay for it all and will lose their wealth and thereafter just be normal.
Weirdly, lots of poor people jump on this band wagon because they "identify as" wealthy people. My parents belong in this category. They used to be called "temporarily embarrassed millionaires", but a millionaire isn't really that wealthy any more.
Regardless, you have this bizarre situation of poor people voting to improve the situations of wealthy people, because that's who they aspire to be.
Yes, it's bonkers.
