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.

This is not opinion or leftist. It’s news about fighting in the party, which is factual, recent, and on-topic.

Removal of this post is admitting that this sub is only about being a safe space for conservatives to circle-jerk while ignoring reality.

I encourage a discussion about the recent conflicts inside the party, how that might impact the party moving forward, and what can be done to prevent this divide.

This article seems to draw the wrong point from the interview. The historian being interviewed says the quickness to resort to violence by Republican politicians is nearly identical to that of Southern politicians right before the US Civil War. She notes that these Southern politicians were emboldened by the fact that they could do anything and not be politically reprimanded for it. Their constituents actually liked how violent they were, so it just kept getting worse. She notes that modern day Republicans enjoy the same luxury. The historian stops short of saying America is headed towards another civil war because their politicians would rather use threat and violence over debate and compromise, and the American voters like it.

We may be heading towards another civil war. While people like to think slavery was the only cause of the war, it was more complicated than that. We have many different cultures and sometimes those cultures collide. I am a small government Republican, which means I support abortion as the government should stay out of an adult's medical care. I am not religious, and I'm not too fond of the mixing of abortion and religion. While I respect religions and do attend mass on occasion, I do not want your sky God dictating what I can do with my body.

The problem is both parties are spewing things that don't really solve anything.

I mean this with no insult. You’re in the wrong party if you want any of those things. And I’m curious, what DO you like about the Republican Party today, and don’t say taxes.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

No I’m in the right party. I’m not a rabid racist like the democrats. I’m against large government. I’m against wages theft through taxation.

You know that slavery, kkk we’re all democrat things and still are?

There is nothing positive in me about the democrats.

You must be really old if you can recall a time when democrats discriminated against people based on race. ;-) Parties change. The modern GOP is all about big government, control of people, censorship, and racism.

But, your answer said all I need to know about your actual position.

Thanks

They still do. They just dress it up and call it diversity now-a-days. Just look at college admissions for a good example.

What about college admissions?

According to whom? Both of these things have always been far right ideologies. Are you forgetting the two main parties switched in name a century ago?

The KKK's still around, and when they march, they don't march with Democrats.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still democrats.

Hell even the Neo Nazi supporter Biden for o president.

Which guy said a neo-Nazi rally had "good people on both sides?"

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who was endorsed by the leader of the Neo-Nazi party.

https://gazette.com/opinion/editorial-a-racists-endorsement-of-biden-comes-as-no-surprise/article_4058411e-e6f8-11ea-a8d2-633192d81b82.html

Who didn’t want their children in a racial jungle?

Who told black people they weren’t black if they didn’t vote him.

How racist are you not to see the party is racist?

Richard Spencer is the neo-Nazi who started the rally I just fucking asked about! The rally called "Unite the right." He's a right-wing crank - he fucking came up with the term alt-right.

Jesus fuck, this crank opinion piece really tries saying the Nazi who runs a right-wing propaganda campaign and promoted a right-wing rally for other Nazis is totes mcgoats sincere and logical when he claims he's not right-wing. Guys. Nazis like you. Any time they claim to be socialist - they immediately start murdering actual socialists.

Do you need a fucking diagram for why an ideology that hates queer people, academia, and feminism keeps showing up at your events?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am not a Nazi troll.

The Nazis supported Biden. Spencer endorsed Biden. Let that sink in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Spencer's a right-wing troll. And a fucking Nazi.

Spencer created the brand that the Republican party endorsed.

When that sneering bigot says 'actually I'm left-wing,' that is literally what the Nazis did. And you still fall for that?

What a worthless conversation.

Fistfights and warfare aren’t on the same path like at all. War is not an extension of what men are doing when they physically fight each other.

If anything, war is the result of men developing deep differences without having a chance to meet each other face to face and just get it over with.

For any man who’s ever been in a civilized fight (ie one which both men consent to and which ends when one man disables the other), it’s obvious that the feeling afterward is the opposite of war.
