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.

Screaming a word at people doesn’t make them that particular thing.

Trump is basically quoting Hitler, and most of you still support him. If that doesn't make somebody a fascist then nothing will.

Lmao you have an extremely peculiar definition of "quoting"

I think it was fairly evident that DJT is a polarizing individual that not every Republican/conservative liked. I'll say it for the hundredth time, conservatives existed long before him, and will exist long after. To most people who consider themselves "conservative", I'd say its fair to assume we want smaller government, transparent fair taxes across the board, gov accountability, a strong defensive military, and to be left alone if we aren't doing anything wrong.

That's what conservative means to me and most I've ever sat down and discussed over it. We aren't marching down the streets waving flags and beating up minorities. We aren't firebombing abortion clinics. Those are fringe groups just like the Left and they should be held accountable. Sadly, we know those who scream the loudest/burn down the most cities get the most press.

Trump is dominating the republican primary.

He is a fascist because of his Hitler-esc rhetoric. And that makes the majority of republicans fascist sympathizers/supporters. That will always be a bigger issue than whether or not conservatism can be defined by "small government" and so on.

How can you be comfortable being a part of a political party who's main leader is basically quoting Hitler?

“We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections,” Trump said toward the end of his speech, repeating his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. “They’ll do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the American Dream.”

Trump went on further to state: “the threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous and grave than the threat from within. Our threat is from within. Because if you have a capable, competent, smart, tough leader, Russia, China, North Korea, they’re not going to want to play with us.”
