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.

As in the US "free speech" is a white supremacist code word for hate speech.

And what happens when people you don't like are in power and start censoring you?

[–] WhatYouNeed 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You vote. And you make sure you're voting for someone that won't try to fuck over society for their own benefit.

So how many elections do think you can guarantee that you won't have someone who might do something with that power you won't like?

[–] WhatYouNeed 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You can't guarantee. But you can look at a candidates statements and the history of the party they represent, to get an understanding of what will happen.

When one candidate says "I'll only be a dictator for one day" and his party doesn't react to this statement, that's a pretty big red flag that your civil rights will be severely eroded if they get into power.

So what happens when people vote for someone you don't like?

What would that accomplish?

I'm not upset when someone uses their democratic right to vote for the person they want.

I'm more upset that we live in a society where people see a person that wants to take away their democratic rights and thinks "Yup, that's the one for me".

Agreed. Why I can’t vote for Harris or walz. They want to take away basic constitutional rights
