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.

Crazy how you guys only care about gun violence when someone other than your own side does it. Especially given that most political violence is right wing violence.

Announcing the shooter as trans front and center in the headline only serves to portray trans people as violent and dangerous, because where would fox news be if not for its continual perpetuation of bigotry against already vulnerable minorities?

Most shooters are straight, cis, white males. Yet you'll never see fox news with a headline going "X shooting suspect identified as a straight, cis, white male with 'kill all blacks' written on gun".

Meanwhile your alternative article you linked shows what better journalism looks like:

"Female suspect fatally shot after shooting at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church"

And here is an actually good source:
