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:

  1. Always follow .world instance rules

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.

  5. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  1. 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 !politicalmemes@lemmy.world

  1. Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

Would not be any "illegals" if we just let anyone who wanted to immigrate do so. I've heard rebuttals of, " what about the criminals". I say, let the police worry about that. Frankly I'm not fond of the police, but those rebutting my immigration stance usually are, so why can't they be expected to do their jobs? Being born in this country is no guarantee of lack of criminality. But let's make our country actually great, with social services to prop up those that need help, and protections for those that can't defend themselves. What the hell is with wanting to be world police, yet arguing to let the bad guys trample whomever they want? Oh, right, they are all about the power fantasy and authoritarianism, not actually being responsible members of the global community.

Absolutely. 100% open borders. Keep track of border crossings if you want to, I'm not a fan, but I understand it, for reasons of human trafficking or kidnapped children, but honestly, if I want to move to Nicaragua or Michigan or Montenegro it should be the same process. Find a place to stay and travel there. If someone from anywhere else wants to do so to move here, they should be able to. Think your country is number 1 go murica hell yeah! Then fucking prove it. Open the borders world wide, and let's see where who wants to stay where. Incentivize living here instead of trapping poor workers in a hell hole they can't escape.

The problem, IMO, with criminals crossing the border is more about not knowing they are criminals. We don't just check databases in other countries willy nilly, if they even let us. In some ways it'd be nice to have access to that information across the globe. On the other hand, it means if you ever get in that database you're kinda fucked. Too many bad faith actors.

Frankly, I don't care if they were criminals before coming here. If they want to come start a new life, then let them. If they decide to do crime here, then the criminal justice system can be called upon to act. If we actually supported the lower classes with social services, it would be more attractive to be a productive member of society than to do crime anyway.

Food, clothing, housing, medical care, education, and protection for everyone. Let's actually make America "the greatest nation on earth".
