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.

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.

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.

Crazy how you guys only care about gun violence when someone other than your own side does it. Especially given that most political violence is right wing violence.
Announcing the shooter as trans front and center in the headline only serves to portray trans people as violent and dangerous, because where would fox news be if not for its continual perpetuation of bigotry against already vulnerable minorities?
Most shooters are straight, cis, white males. Yet you'll never see fox news with a headline going "X shooting suspect identified as a straight, cis, white male with 'kill all blacks' written on gun".
Meanwhile your alternative article you linked shows what better journalism looks like:
And here is an actually good source:

Ive said it time and time again, conservatives are not a monolith. Please stop acting like it.
More people should hear and understand this on both extreme ends of the political spectrum.
Don't listen to people who broadly mock an ideology with straw man arguments and broad generalizations. That shit is for children.
If someone says "conservatives always..."/"liberals only think..." or any variation just ignore them.
Also it's odd that you're complaining that I'm grouping republicans together (for a post/article you guys agree with and support), but when someone comes along and says "dEMocRatS aRe VIoLenT" you're silent. What a double standard.
Guys I think this might be a joke
Can you link to somewhere blameta did this?

This is just the past month alone, and just one user. Admittedly, 90% of these kinds of statements come from winter. But every single one, not a peep out of the mods saying "hey, don't say that, democrats are not a monoloth".
The exact one about democrats being violent must have been from a while ago. And tbh I don't care enough to go digging for it. My point has been made.
So because I dont censor it, that must mean I agree with it? Is that really your mindset?
Not even close to what I am saying.
What I am actually saying:
You are applying a double standard
You are failing to keep this place civil
What double standard?
If you're going to comment, at least try to address what I'm saying.
