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.

This is an example of government overreach.

"This is an example of government overreach."

Exactly what I said when conservatives:

-Told women that they don't control their own bodies or health care decisions

-Banned books that they didn't like or agree with

-Consistently placed the value of guns over lives because of the ambiguity of the 2nd Amendment

-Steal taxpayer money and give it to parochial schools under the guise of "school choice"

-Took away free lunches for kids

-Partook in and supported an insurrection of the US Capitol

-Refused to acknowledge that the election was not rigged, he lost, he's been impeached multiple times for good cause, is a convicted sexual harasser, serial cheater, sociopathic liar, and is facing numerous lawsuits for fraud, including stealing from veterans funds and other charities.

Making sure the RWNJs don't start banning toy colors other than pink and blue doesn't seem like too much of a stretch now, does it snoogums?

Over half the article talks about Target's pride sales and the backlash, and the article doesn't say what changes Target would be required to make.

This is horrible journalism, and everyone getting worked up in this thread is going off of a headline.

"Told women they don't control their own bodies"

Boy I really love how you frame infanticide.

It's also very telling when the first thing you do is an us vs them.

NO ONE should think this is a reasonabke idea, unless they want more government control. And there are plenty on the left who do, orders of magnitude more than on the right.

As leftists love to point out, conservatives are selfishly individualist, so how likely are ideas like this coming from the right?

Off by one, bud. You commented on the wrong post

Bodily autonomy is not infanticide.

Politics aside. Should the government tell stores how to merchandise their stores ? This is stupid as hell

Oh no! Legos and skateboards will no longer require genitalia to enjoy!

[–] [email protected] -5 points 11 months ago

They don't require that now. I am not sure why a law needs to require it.

This sounds like bait for idiots.

Because it's a cult who believe in that enslaved to their emotions.

Wait, I thought gender was a construct?

Who decides the meaning of "gender neutral toy"?

Aren't these the same people who say things aren't gendered, and boys can wear dresses and play with barbies?

I'm so confused.

Also, the drive by downvoters are a riot! They're so weak minded they can't tolerate anything but their narrow minded ideology.
