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!

Florsheim!

Look, I’m not into the intergenerational blame game.

But Donald is the most boomer of boomer-ass boomers that ever boomered.

“Back on MY day, Florsheim shoes were aspirational!”

“Back in MY day, Carter blinked versus the Iranians!”

“Back in MY day, women weren’t allowed to ask presidents questions!”

Fuck him.

Also im gonna steal that for my folks, though not in such superlative. Only one deserves what you said. I'll work on the phrasing.

Seriously, are we not doing “phrasing” anymore?

Not that kind of phrasing. I meant like, crafting a silly thing to say

I mean,

I’m not GenX. I’m not Millennial.

I can blame boomers for all my problems.

But one day, I’ll be the age they currently are.

And young people will say “why didn’t you do anything? This is all your fault!”

And, to some extent, it is. Despite me being, at nearly every turn, on the right side of history. I was against the Afghanistan, Iraq war. Against Donald. Against Hillary and Kamala in the primaries. Against the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Against the war in Iran.

The unfortunate truth is that there are assholes in every generation. If Gen Alpha thinks they are different, I’m sorry, but no. There are vicious, pernicious assholes in your generation, too.

It’s good people versus evil. Two steps forward, one step back.

Now and forever.

You good. But you know. My mom voted for Bush 2. And she thinks Steve Ballmer is a good guy. So, she is in trouble even with us that were born in the 70s.

You know what sucks? If they're sized right, they're some of the most comfortable dress shoes I've worn, even moreso for the price.

I’m either having the lamest Déjà vu, or I’ve read this exact comment before. Is this a reference, or am I going crazy?

I dunno, I've been hit in the head a few times. Maybe I just repeat this every time we clown on the clowns in their clown shoes? Maybe there's other Florsheim enjoyers who wish they could go back to wearing their correctly sized comfortable shoes without a tinge of guilt by association?
