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.

The democrats still discriminate against people based on race. It’s a core part is their platform.

And no, you have the gop wrong. Covid proved that the gop wasn’t about control. They let people make informed decisions about their health. The democrats wanted to force vaccinations and mask on everyone.

Seems like you don’t know much about the GOP

Which democratic policies are you thinking of that discriminate based on race?

What are the major Republican talking points? Trans? Drag? It’s like you’re not being told what the GQP is actually.

Also, that article is labeled opinion, and those aren’t facts.

Small government. Lower taxes. Protection of constitutional rights. Freedom of association.

Not sure what drag. Trans means. Some context would be useful.

Well, unless you’re extremely wealthy, the Republican Party has not lowered taxes for the middle class in the past 20 years or so. Obviously, there is a lot to consider like tax credits, etc. But that blanket statement of “Republicans lower taxes “is not entirely accurate.

Trump raised my taxes. I’m solid middle class 300-500k a year on average. I got a nice tad bump due to the salt changes. Wealth has little to do with taxes. Taxes are based in income which is not the same as wealth

300-500k is not middle class.

It is the income range of most people I know. I am nothing overly unique in what I make.

You might consider updating your knowledge beyond what is immediately in front of you.
