Conservatives don't care.
Their blinkers don't allow them to even see things like that. They're just focused on seeing the people they hate made to suffer, and as long as that happens, they're content. The rest is just trivia.

A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

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.

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. 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.

"blinkers" = "blinders"' I presume?
"It's just a joke! I love it when he triggers the libs like this!" /s
I guarantee they will always find a way to pay homage their golden idol.
Crickets, as expected
So empty is this void where complaints should be... It might just be perfect to practice my new hobby.
Yodelay yodelay
Eehoo ehoo
Yodelay yode- ehoo ay eehoo
Oh yodelay ehhooo yodelah ehhoo*
Ah eehoo
Marvelous. The acoustics of this void are perfect. I'm going to be here a while. You can stay if you want but don't be critical. I'm still learning and practicing.
No better place to yodel than an empty echo chamber!
My thoughts exactly. The acoustics are amazing and the rent is free.
You're never a loser if you never admit you're wrong - no matter how high the evidence piles up just keep faking it 'till you make it, or until it doesn't matter anymore.
It is deeper than "never a loser"
I've always tried to admit I was wrong as soon as I realized it. Admitting your wrong gets you massive amounts of respect in life. Honestly I'd say admitting a mistake gets you more respect than actually being right in the first place.
It might be a little late in the game for trump supporters to get "more respect" than never going with trump at all... I'm just speaking in general. People respond very very well to "I messed up, I know that now"
Edit: in the professional world I've many times taken blame for mistakes I didn't even do. When the boss is waiting for the culprit to stand up and no one is "sorry that was me, I just thought yada yada yada" the boss respects you more and the person you took the bullet for is now your best ally.
Edit 2: on the evil side of that. If you fuck up bad enough you don't want to get caught you have that gaslight in your pocket "I've always come clean when it was me. I've always taken my lumps for my mistakes. i would tell you if it were me. You know that"
America's greatest deed was killing a million Nazis. Killing Nazis is great.
For the government to bring a bunch over in Project Paperclip? I don't think they were ever against fascism; they didn't like Hitler's version because they didn't benefit.
And even then there was significant support for the nazis among influential whites, before they started threatening the territorial integrity of Western nations. The US's principled opposition to fascism has always been a retcon.
Though while I don't like how it completely blinds Americans to the dangers of homegrown fascism, I will say there are much worse stories to base a national mythology on. In that sense it was nice while it lasted. Pretty much the same goes for Russia.
until they voted them into power
ha, yea... where are all the 'quit assuming my position' conservatives that like to bitch about what a liberal space lemmy is without providing a single opinion themselves.
"I'm being cancelled over my beliefs!"
Which ones?
"My conservative beliefs!"
Like lowering taxes?
"No"
Cutting spending?
"No not that"
Which beliefs?
"You know, my beliefs..."
Oh
Are you implying that Lemmy isn't a very liberal space? I've voted for the Democrats in every election of my adult life and I'm still more conservative than almost anyone else here.
nope. im saying the only conservatives that can condone the current coup are fascists, but they wont openly admit it.
Right, they get super butthurt over having their obvious fascism called out.
I don't think that even people who are fascists by any reasonable definition usually think of themselves as fascists.
Most of them don't even know what "fascist" means.
Just saying, Liberal isn't the end of the spectrum.

As long as he is white, conservative, and Christian, they’ll fall in line.
Being/Acting christian is not a requirement, it'll get you fired I'm sure. But being labeled one is.
Oh, yeah. Anyone who actually took the concept of “morality” seriously wouldn’t stand a chance.
Yeah, there is nothing about Trump that is Christian.
Real Christian isn't necessary.
Sorry, I meant 😀 Christian™️
"Christian" also works.
Wonder whether this king will eventually target the clergy...
He's "thier" king, so it's ok to be hypocrites.
I wonder how many conservatives are actually on here. This thread kind of feels like as a large group we stormed into an after school club with like 4 kids in it lol
The community really only had single digit users who claimed to be "conservative", but checking their profiles showed they were also downvote collectors and trolls. Seems like the admins of lemm.ee decided they no longer wanted this community being a safe haven for trolls and have removed the old mod.
There's like four maybe five of them in this comm. Normally everything is downvoted to hell and back by lemmy at large. Right now the only mod is the admin, so people are taunting the conservatives.
Basically, yeah. We were never exactly popular here. There's a community on sjw, but who knows how long that will last
Cons are fine with it as long as it’s their guy. They mostly just stand for absolutely nothing.
Belief that heirarchy is a natural and just way to organize humans is one of the central cores of conservatism.
Why would they be against a monarchy forming?
Exactly this. Find me a monarchist who isn't socially conservative. Having a person in charge who claims to have all the answers and can fix all your problems (and also may or may not have direct approval from your deity du jour) must be incredibly comforting for a large portion of the population.
If this surprises you, you're fucking stupid.
Are they? In Europe, monarchist people are part of conservatistes. We have a few royalists in France who want to reinstate whomever is the descendant of the lastest royal family.
It was a prank bro.... Unless..? 👉👈
Not if he's #theirguy
Don’t call them Surely, or they’ll deport you for being a woke DEI agent.
Could I get the quote/context? I'm out of the loop
(not conservative, I saw this on c/all)
