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.

I suspect it's very similar for other leftists. They get downvoted, downvote others, and it's a perpetual cycle. For others it's potential habitual, for others because they're just passing through and use the button as a disagree button.

And that's largely what such buttons are used for. Not anger buttons, but disagree buttons.

So why do you get off on the idea of causing your fellow Americans anger?

Passing by an area just to downvote, that's something angry people do. Normal people don't visit subs for things they dislike just to downvote them. I have no intention of visiting any socialists subs.

You misundertand. The moment a post on here gets posted, it shows up for all lemm.ee to see when sorted by new.

People aren't "passing by" by seeking the sub out, they're passing by when literally anything posted on here automically shows up on new.

And again, downvotes are more of a disagree, not a anger thing.

Do you have an answer for my question or not?

Most people don't look at all posts, they only look at subs they're subscribed to. Anger is what motivates people to go to subs they have no interest in just to downvote.

Why do different viewpoints make you liberals angry?

Dude, you could at least attempt to answer the question.
