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.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.
Let's not assume he's "only" a politician since he incited an insurrection directly against the most salient Democratic process in the country, committed electoral fraud, declared ethnic bans, and had expressed admiration for dictators and explicitly has stated his intention to be a dictator.
He isn't " just some guy", he's a piece of s*** wannabe dictator with terrible domestic and even worse foreign policies. Or maybe terrible foeign and even worse domestic policies.
You sound triggered and emotional. I'm no Trump fan but the moral outrage drama surrounding him is just as excessive as he is himself
The outrage against trump is a perfectly justified and measured response to his behavior and stated intentions.
Trump is a rapist, he directly tried to commit electoral fraud more than once, he convinced others to forge election documents, without even touching his awful policies.
Nobody cares if you are a "trump fan", giving Trump another chance is a vote in support of rape. You're giving direct electoral fraud and the attack on American representative democracy another chance.
No, being upset that millions of people support rape and electoral fraud is not excessive, it is perfectly rational.
When you demonize those who disagree with you, you invite treatment in kind.
That's funny, because people around here have used the r slur against me multiple times despite me never using it.
And statements like this fail to understand that there is often legitimate reason to demonize someone you disagree with. For instance, overthrowing democracy in Germany got Hitler demonize, and rightfully so. You don't get to get off scott free from criminal allegations just because of some hope of playing nice in politics.
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.
