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.

  3. 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.

Yeah, which means there's more stuff that you'd probably find appealing in it

Why do you automatically assume that people are supposed to agree with it by default? It's seriously that unfathomable in your mind that someone could read it and decide it isn't a good bill?

No. I hate the bill. But it also wasn't targeted at my political demographic.

For a group of folks that justify war and suffering of others for personal and national security, you must like it more than I do. It's just a matter of whether you actually like it or just think it's okay. From what I can tell, you should actually really like it.

But here's the thing: I didn't arrive at hating the bill because I heard from AOC that it's a bad bill. Most of you heard from freakin' Fox News and Co. that it was bad bill and believe it.

Republican politicians are lying to you. The bill is a relatively good one from your perspective. But, for whatever reason, you can't pull from the wool from over your eyes to see it for yourself.

It just sounds like you have a very poor idea of what I want, in that case.

Fair enough. You seem to want what you're told to want, or to not want I suppose.

It's wild how you think constantly pretending like everyone who disagrees is too stupid to think for themselves is remotely good faith
