The posts are funny, but I’d say that we should grift the right so that they get off big tech platforms and get into the fediverse.

    It should be a comm for conservatives, and it was. Didn’t see many crazy takes there. Plenty I disagreed with, but nothing too batshit. My biggest complaint was articles from shit sources with shit, or no, facts.

    What I did see were some posts that deserved discussion, but were downvoted to hell the moment they were birthed. Swear to god there were people monitoring the comm and automatically downvoting everything. Really winning hearts and minds there guys.*

    At the least, we should be listening to what “the opposition” has to say instead our opinions on conservative thought being based on politicians and that one crazy aunt. That sort of thinking is how conservatives view liberals. They lock onto the craziest shit they see and say, “See! They’re all like that!”

    Used to have a conservative friend, used to. He was railing about liberals one day using his wife’s friend as an example of typical liberal thought. First off, his wife was a fucking basket case, in no small part due to his treatment of her. She’d latch onto any woman who would befriend her. Second, the woman in question was the most toxic left-winger I’ve ever heard of IRL. That was his picture of liberals. Hell, I’d vote Trump if we were really like that!

    * Best friend used to be a conservative Southern Baptist. Through years of arguing, in good faith, and kicking politics and religion around, he ended up a left-moderate atheist. I single-handedly changed his view on homosexuality being a choice. But please, do go one drowning out their voices, pushing them into toxic echo chambers. Hows that working out BTW?

      My mindset is seeing things from how CEO and powerful politicians see everyone. People are a resource that can be exploited well we should get as many people as possible for the fediverse. I’d help conservatives get their own instance up so they can have their walled garden that way they can get away from corporations and add to fediverse culture.

    Yes lol, without mods users will gravitate to the most natural state for a comm

    And apparently the most natural state for this comm are parody posts because those are the only posts here with positive upvotes. All the “serious” posts get downvoted to hell LMAO

    I haven’t paid much attention but from what I can gather it used to be a ‘legitimate’ conservative community, where some people posted outrageous bs, think of reddit s r/thedonald sub. A couple of days ago some people noticed that there are no mods anymore in the community, for whatever reason, so the shit posting, cons trolling began and the community all of a sudden bloomed.

    I’d reckon there aren’t many of them original folks around anymore, thankfully. Just scroll down, it was a very trashy community, celebrating deaths from miscarriages and such.

      Funny how liberal are quick to ban people why they disagree with, for “trolling.”

      But them “trolling” conservative people and subs, is totally fine. Hmmm…

      Well, doesn’t matter. The King is still in charge. And there are plenty of other serious conservative communities people can post in. :)

        What is this dipshit rambling? I got banned from r/conservative within two minutes of posting a Trump tweet that criticized his own actions as President.

        You wouldn’t look so stupid if conservative spaces actually allowed free speech, despite whining about it all the time.

        It’s because right wing trolling is a lot of telling people they shouldn’t exist for matters beyond their control and left wing trolling is laughing about how dumb and absurd that mindset is.

          So trolling is ok if it’s left wing people doing it, right? That’s the rule you’re going with?

          Hmmm, guess I’ll have to come up with an alt username, start trolling conservatives so you all like me and I can get those sweet sweet upvotes. Then I’ll slowly start sliding in some liberal trolling. Just slow enough you don’t quite get it.

          Then others will jump on board, then I keep doing that until I’m fully trolling Lemmy Libs and you all will have no idea.

          Wouldn’t be crazy if there were already a bunch of us conservatives working together and spreading out to do just that? Wouldn’t that be just the craziest thing?

          Wouldn’t it be crazy if this has been talked about in conservative groups; things like making a concentrated effort to have a bigger presence on Lemmy?

          Wouldn’t it be crazy if we talked about things like creating liberal-leaning profiles, becoming mods of different communites and maybe not deleting conservative opinions. Mixing things up a little so you don’t know which mods are conservative and which one’s werent?

          You know, just to even the bar a bit…

          Yeah, that’d be crazy. Hmmmm…

          Lemmy is awesome!

        Yeah, it’s generally fine to mock terrible people doing awful things. Like you.

        Not that you even care about the purported hypocrisy. You love hypocrisy, you swim in it. I hope you get everything you voted for and then wonder why your children won’t talk to you.

            US Constitution, Article I, Section IX, Clause XIII:

            No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

            Trump doubled-down on wiping his golf shoes with the Constitution with this clause specifically.

              What camps you talking about? I don’t see any news on camps. I don’t even know what you are talking about or referring to. Care to explain?

              Sounds like you are advocating violence and not being very civil.

              Also, I’m not afraid of you. At all.

                That’s because you head is buried up an elderly mans asshole, you can’t see a thing.

                I know you aren’t afraid of me. I don’t care. I’m going to ensure people like you aren’t welcome in society. You should be afraid to go outside.

                  Oh I can see everything up here. It’s amazing!

                  I’m going to ensure people like you aren’t welcome in society.

                  “People like” me? Wow, that sounds like a very very bigoted statement. You sound like a bigot. Ewww…

                  You should be afraid to go outside.

                  I’m not. I’m laughing at your keyboard warrioring skills right now. No one is afraid of you.

                  Speaking of outside, you need to go out side and get off Lemmy. You are taking Lemmy way too seriously, man. You don’t sound healthy.

                  Also, I’ve just reported your statements to the FBI hotline online. Sounds like they need to check up on you.

                  You sound…angry.

                  I hope you get the help you need.
