A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".

This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.

Rules:

  1. Always follow .world instance rules

  2. Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.

  3. Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.

  4. Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.

  5. Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.

Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.

  1. No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.

  2. Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.

A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.

  1. Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way somewhere in your post. Either in the title or the meme itself.

For more general political memes please see [email protected]

  1. Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.

  2. Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.

  3. For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.

And above all, HAVE FUN!

Actually yes, if you run the instance.

Stocks going up mostly benefits the wealthy. We shouldn't measure success that way.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 5 days ago (2 children)

On the other hand stocks going down have a habit of affecting the rest of us even more.

[–] pebbles 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

This is a curious one. 90% of stocks are owned by the top 10%, so stock going down would lead to less inequality. Yet the top 10% also gets to take out their anger at us.

Edit: and only 50% of American house holds have any retirement savings.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

They use falling stock prices a pre text to extract extra money from peasants via the state and the stage enables them.

Most people don't understand that this is what modern oppression looks like in the developed world. Slowly degrade quality of life over generations.

Parasite got so fat is that now they are attempting to dismantle the US federal government and getting away with it too

[–] explodicle 2 points 4 days ago

Is there any literature on this asymmetry? I thought elasticity was the same in either direction.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Agreed, but this was how they measured Trump being "better on the economy". With this final proof, there's no reason for the rich to continue to back him...

One of these things just doesn't belong (in the White House)

[–] ThePantser 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Looks like we're great again! A great big market crash that is. The yugest crash, very beautiful.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I know crashes.. I knlw this guy, good guy, who makes the best crashes

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Is this real? I can't wait to post it on Facebook

Thank you!

I think including his first term actually sells the point of how bad this term is even more effectively than leaving it out.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

Thanks, I don't know why they left out his first term.

Id actually like to see the last 10 terms

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I found some relevant graphs in my photos from his first term that are also neat:

I'd be curious how they stack up now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

To be fair COVID had a great deal to do with that

Obviously he handled COVID extremely poorly and it didn’t need to be as dramatic of a crash, but I think that factor alone was the leading reason of why that happened

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Handled Covid poorly as it spread, and was instrumental in undoing the tools to help stop such outbreaks developed initially by GWB and then by Obama. Oh, right, that's why he undid a lot of it. Out of spite, not out of sense. Mirrors more or less everything he's doing now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I agree, and that's one of the reasons that I'm interested in how they compare now, as those graphs were made before Biden's term and it would be insightful to see the comparison between Biden post COVID, Trump, and the others listed.

Horrible colour scheme with night light filter.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

It's just a horrible color scheme regardless

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

What's difficult to read about the four similarly green lines?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

But, it's still lacking Obama's first term...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Here's an interactive one where you can select where you want to compare. Obama's first term was a slide indeed, but it's important to note that his term started after the slide had already started. I agree it should be included here in fairness, but then you'd see both the plummet as well as the recovery, and maybe some don't want to give him credit for that and only focus on the first days.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Wasn't his first term in 2008? Like, the year the world housing hubble burst and banks had to be bailed out and all that? You can't blame that on him, as little as you can blame the Corona dip on Trump. Both happend on a global scale.

What's different around now is that the rest the world is doing just fine while the American stock market crashed. I can't remember any other time this happend to this extend.

[–] Birch 1 points 5 days ago

Donny still got some catching up to do to reach Dubbya or Nixon levels

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

And somehow, Biden does a lot better in this one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I want to post it to ND so bad, but I know it'll just get removed under the no national politics rule lol

(Which isnt the worst rule TBH lmao)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Well DUH Don't you LiBrUlS know? Line going up is nothing but ~~woke~~ DEI propaganda!11!!11!!! Drump just sees through all that and courageously makes line go down!!!1!111

Why cherry pick Obama's second term?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Because of the 2008 recession, obviously, which would undercut the visual argument.

The underlying fundamentals still hold, because no one would ever argue that Obama caused the 2008 recession, while Trump did all of the work of causing the current situation himself with his dumb tariff games.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Then you get a graph that doesn't start at zero and you can undercut the visual argument even further

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

Starting at 0 would actually be silly for a normalized market index value graph like this one because the market going to true 0 is not a realistic situation. Or thought of another way, this graph is essentially zero-indexed, but 0 is marked as 100 on the Y axis. 90 in this case could be thought of as -10% value and that would be perfectly accurate. These kinds of graphs are usually misleading in other ways, usually by picking specific time ranges to represent or cut off on the X axis. For instance, you could argue that the value that Trump is erasing here is largely offset by the market gains from November to January that could be arguably attributed to speculative optimism about Trump winning the election and so the crash that is shown is actually just a market correction. One might point out that triggering a market bubble and subsequent correction is no matter of pride in response to that argument, but it is there
