I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

The challenge will be finding an actual traditional conservative instance that isn’t also a pro-Nazi fascist shithole.
I imagine traditional conservatives often get gate checked as leftist.
Been called a Nazi plenty of times on Reddit and now here. God forbid you believe capitalism with a touch of regulation when needed works 🤷♂️.
Not to get too sidetracked but part of what isn’t working about capitalism is what is coming down the pipe with climate change. Capitalism does work, but market socialism looks like an upgrade to me. People over profits.
That’s fine. I’m just saying it doesn’t make me racist Nazi to have a more right position.
Maybe not, but the consequences of your beliefs impact people negatively and you should accept the resulting disapproval.
No, but you are still voting to support all those other things when you vote republican
DOUBT
You’ve said other things to get people to call you that.
Well if any left winger were to argue that merely believing capitalism with a touch of regulation works is all that makes you a Nazi, I’d be inclined to disagree with them even as a liberal progressive.
For me it’s believing that what you read, what you are taught, who you love/marry, how you practice art, what happens between you and a doctor, and where you were born that needs to be policed, controlled, and punished is what makes a Nazi. I honestly don’t think a genuine American conservative would care about any of that.
I think you are referring to democratic socialism.

Nope, it started much earlier. When they linked up with evangelical Christians.
Yeah there’s only as much sane conservative content as there are sane conservatives.
/r/conservative used to be moderately sane back before 2015. It’s almost like the entire Republican lost their minds the year after that. I wonder why…
Would it be too late for them to rein it back now?
Seems like anyone trying would be immediately be booted for being a “liberal”, and the only way is down.
