conservative
A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".
This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.
Rules:
-
Always follow .world instance rules
-
Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.
-
Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.
-
Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
-
Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.
Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.
-
No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.
-
Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.
A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.
- Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way somewhere in your post. Either in the title or the meme itself.
For more general political memes please see [email protected]
-
Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
-
Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.
-
For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.
And above all, HAVE FUN!

You know those are constitutional monarchies right? Their monarchs have effectively less political power than the American President by far and at best hold a symbolic role of paper stamper.
Also they have a solid history of axing them when they overstep (sometimes literally), and bringing their successors back on with further reduced function in government. These days they are basically just overpayed legacy mascots that have lucrative longstanding contracts...
Maybe America should follow suit with the rest of Europe, depose their Mad Kings and make them actual civil servants accountable to the people or just kooky sock puppets to entertain the masses with. It would be a nice change.
He already is dipshit. American democracy is old as fuck compared to the rest of the world and an American president has undemocratic levels of power compared to most other democracies. Biden and every other President before him was also a King they just played by the expectations not to act like one.
Your system is crumbling old ass garbage half written in archaic obsolete law language. A Democracy beta test written by people who still saw the role of monarch as nessisary. The world moved on from your system a hundred years ago because they unlike you lot didn't mythologize the writers of their documents as Gods of creation and you lot had your heads so far up your own asses you never noticed the joke you were becoming. It might have been cute once but now it's just fucking sad.
You didn't read what I wrote huh? Alright. I will keep it short so you can keep up.
It's not Trump.
It's every American President since the beginning. They just used to have to pretend it wasn't true.
It's time to grow up and become a real democracy like the rest of us.
Nope, who your Presidents are is kind of inconsequential at this point. The system sucks because it was written by people who figured a king was nessisary and you lot never updated it into modernity after and now it's failed due to old age.
The only thing keeping the whole thing on the rails for as long as it did was believing in fairies. The rest of the world looked at that system and when they built their own democracies they fixed the bugs with more modern designs.
Taunt us all you like but enjoy living in a failure that progressively more people can't believe in anymore Tinkerbell.
Great. Have fun on the way down.
Glad I'm not there and not planning on setting foot on American soil again until you stop being a failed state. Thanks for asking!
Oh plenty of reasons to be angry. Your Mad King keeps treating our country like it belongs to him and posturing to take it over. There's citizen movements up here essentially preparing for war and strengthening ties to actual allies.
Your head is firmly up your own ass if you think we have no cause to be fucking pissed.
You are an idiot. Your President is trying to take over our country based on 20 kilos of fentanyl, which is about as much as was apprehended goung in the opposite direction btw and a supposed deficit of enforcement we already voted to step up 6 months ago.
Oh... And is calling a trade agreement he signed and called "the most wonderful trade agreement of all time" at the time suddenly an exploitation of Americans. It's not our fault your lot are fucking insane and talking about annexation like they are doing us a favour.
You're Flavor-aid poisoned. Wake the fuck up.
No. But you are in support of this regime. It is a cacophony of individuals that make this happen and while you are a small atom of that movement without support from all it's atomic fragments it would not be empowered to do anything of this. You are on here crowing about how much fun you're having. How happy you are your man is in charge. Talking about how you are going to infiltrate other communities as a sleeper agent to become a mod and shut down the conversations when there are already spaces where your opinions see the air without question but that is not enough for you. Washing your hands Pontius Pilate will not absolve you. Everyone here is accountable, you aren't somehow magically exempt because you are "just a widdle guy".
Your country is being damaged by the day. It's hemmoraging good will on the international stage, the business deals are going elsewhere, the unemployment rates from the federal government purges racking up will start to hit your country in the next few months as individual citizens stop buying anything but bare nessessities while they search for jobs that don't exist because there will be no replacements.
So rejoice! Today you feast, tomorrow you starve and when you look to blame someone for it save a little share for the man in the mirror.
Then you stick to your own country. Know that every time Trump says the word 51st state he is threatening us. We do not want the absurd parody of the word that is American freedom. We have our own freedom. I do not need to speak to our Government because they are already doing the right thing. Stay on your side of the line. We will not suffer oppressors least of all ones too stupid to mourn what they have lost.
Why are you holding a turd?
You mean the King and/or Queen of England? The role that is entirely just a public display of symbolism and they have next to no real power?
Lol. The kings left in Europe have little power over their people, and even less over their governments. I doubt Trump wants to be a figurehead that everyone ignores when it comes to actually governing.
Not to mention over here in France, we got rid of our kings. And when they came back, we ended up getting rid of them again.
Europe is indeed better than the US. Not because of monarchies, though.
The point is that turning Trump into a king won't make your country any better. It won't really solve anything.
Besides that, most monarchies in Europe are just constitutional monarchies, which means that the monarch does not actually influence the politics.
How about we treat him like a king, even though you say that he'll never be one? Say, Louis the XVI? I would be 100% okay with that. Indeed, perhaps we should treat all of the Republicans in congress like Louis XVI.
I remember how France dealt with some of their kings. Great kings. Some have even said the best kings.
The country of Europe has a king. And you're allowed a vote. Both insane comments, and only one is true.
