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.

Most important is a decent attitude and have the respect to listen to someones opinions. I don't believe socialists are evil but I do believe a lot of their policies are. Even if the intention is good. I am a libertarian but not an anarchist so that means I do believe there is a role for governments. I think that's an interesting start for a friendly conversation with anyone ๐Ÿป

I am a republican but my beliefs are not well aligned with the modern republican movement. I don't care if someone is gay ,trans, etc. The social war is stupid to me. I believe in the right of a person to do what they want as long as they are not hurting others. All this social crap is a distraction from what we should be doing.

I don't think most MAGA think gay or trans is a problem as well. The democrats pushed this agenda over the top and it was getting ridiculous. For me personally I just want to see DOGE succeed ] I don't care about the rest. Too much bureaucrats and regulations. Glad the tarrifs are not implemented (for now) as everyone feared. It will be a wild ride, but tbh I really think it is needed. Whatever comes out of this will be better. Cleaning up needs to be done. Government spending is/was out of control.

Hope DOGE and Milei will be an example for the EU where bureaucracy and regulation is an even bigger problem.

I like the idea of DOGE, but we will see how it is done. We have so much waste in our government.

Indeed - I even think a lot of Democrats will agree if you leave Trump out of the conversation. Most bureaucrats are Democrats but most Democrats are not bureaucrats.
