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.

We are a nation of rules and the rules are boring. Embrace that. In times of difficulty, go with the boring option. When faced with a frightening crisis, tamp it down with ultra-boring moves. No matter what, stick with the rules.

I can’t avoid talking about Donald Trump but I’m going to make it brief. I know you don’t like him; neither do I. But let’s assume he’s only a politician. He’s not Hitler, Godzilla or the Beast of the Apocalypse—just a guy with a loud mouth and a desperate need for attention. Most Americans think of him that way.

This is not about him. It’s about you.

So sure, there's a person who didn't follow rules and did some outrageous things, like give away classified info to foreign governments and steal classified materials and show them to random people and kept them in the bathroom and whatnot, but this isn't about him, it's about you. We are a nation of rules, and you should always stick with the rules.

While maybe there was a person who had a clear conflict of interest in holding a government office and profited from it and tried to illegally withhold congress approved aid to another nation for help in possibly fraudulently prosecuting a US citizen for personal gain but you should focus on boring things and no matter what, you should stick with the rules.

This isn't about him, this about you. So you need to follow the rules and be nice and focus on boring things because this is about you and your behavior.

Ok, thanks for the advice there chief.
