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.
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.
For more general political memes please see [email protected]
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!

Speaking of taxpayer money, I'd like to see an accounting of how much the current wave of deportations is costing us (including the resulting flood of litigation) and the dollar value we're getting out of it. Seems like DOGE should be riding herd on this, right?
hell you cant even find sidewalks in a lot of places any more. I would be happy if those were required and allows to see the bike population and if it needs the lanes put in.
Not only health from exercise, but also a reduction in car crash related injuries, and the whole city benefits from cleaner air with less cars on the road. Theres also the huge financial savings because each mile traveled by bike is far less expensive for society than a car mile (road surfacing, signage, registration, traffic enforcement, subsidized parking, less pavement needed for a bike lane vs a car lane, etc)
More productive and less like to become a burden on Medicare and Medicaid, this saving taxpayer money.
Pensions are lower when they die quickly after retiring. The medical bills at age 70 or 80 will be the same. People use hospitals when dying no matter what.

I hope you're joking - did you forget the /s?
Cus "dying" in a hospital can be quite different... if you're sick at the age of 70, but live till 90, or if you're a healthy biker that only got sick at 85, and still lived till 90. People die quite differently, and a healthy lifestyle can reduce suffering and cost.
