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.

Hey lets talk about how a picture was cropped to make maga look bad. Let's really focus on this instead of policy decisions that are bad for Americans, including conservative Americans.

Let's talk about this picture instead of the attempt to freeze grants, loans, and other federal financial assistance so he can give tax breaks to his super wealthy pals.

Let's talk about this picture instead of how medicaid got turned off.

Let's talk about how the woke media is so mean

Yeah that's a good point. We should focus on the important issues, like Elon Musk making a weird gesture on a stage!

Feel free to write your own articles, friend. Be the change you wanna see!

Thanks, friend!

Ironically the only way we know about this is because New York Magazine posted the uncropped photo in the article, at least online.

So yeah they edited out the black people in the cover to make it seem like it was a white people hype party, they're not entirely hiding the black people from the picture.

Looks like there are some other cool, high-quality pictures from the event in the article but it's paywalled.

So then no reason to crop the photo.

Thanks, friend!

Thanks, friend!

Watching your journey has been a perfect demonstration of the right wing radicalization pipeline. Thank you for the near textbook example of how a mind can go so wrong so quickly.

Oh, this sounds like a fun observation. Except that I'm not right-wing, and I haven't been radicalized.

I'm actually socialist. I voted socialist party, and I will continue to vote socialist party.

Just because I post articles that I find interesting, doesn't mean I agree with all of the content.

But hey, let's have a conversation. Here or in private DM's. I'm fine either way.

What journey do you think you have watched me go on?

Thanks, friend!
