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.

That’s a hard pass for me. I’d rather opt out of social security. It’s a ponzi scam. If the government had put that into a private account, I’d have millions of dollars in there.

We had electric cars in the 70s but the oil industry killed them.

And Elon didn't start Tesla. He bought it and took credit for it.

I guess this is further proof that being rich doesn't make you smart

What car was tesla selling when Elon bought it? What factory did they own? You’re just proving my point.

I am not proving your point. Tesla hasn't started production yet but would have regardless of musk's involvement. And since then, he made the company worse because he's an idiot who happened to have the money to take over a promising company.

Nothing to say about Amazon, though?

They would have went bankrupt. Do you think they let Elon in out of the kindness of their heart? They were out of money. It was let Elon invest or go BK. You think Tesla would have been better off BK? lol.

Amazon is no worse than Walmart.

Amazon is no worse than Walmart.

And both are awful for the country :)
