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.

What the fuck? Every day it’s more absurdity huh?

Is Trump running on his 2020 platform?

From my perspective as a pro-2A person (who is also decidedly left of center), they also couldn't even pass the Hearing Protection Act that would have taken silencers out of the National Firearms Act of 1934. (It made it out of committee, and then the Las Vegas massacre happened, and--despite silencers not being used in the murders--the bill was tabled.) But!, Trump did say he supported seizing guns first and due process second--or never--and his ATF did ban bump stocks (...and that ban was recently thrown out by SCOTUS because a bump stock clearly does not fit the legal definition of a machine gun).

So even the very, very minimally positive things I might have expected from Republicans dominating the gov't didn't happen. He literally could not fucking do the bare minimum.
