He's a piece of shit rapist, why are you defending him? His speeches are generally incoherent but when you can make out what he's trying to say it's just hatred and pointing the finger at others. He's stacking the government with bootlickers with no experience. His policies will lead to death.

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!

I know nothing you’re asking is in good faith but…
There’s a difference between your doctor being a little blunt about how you have cancer and aren’t going to live much longer and your doctor telling you that immigrants caused your cancer and his perfect tariffs are gonna cause healing like you’ve never seen and everyone will come up to him with tears in their eyes and tell him “sir, no one thought you could cure cancer with tariffs but you did it.”
Trump is the second one, in case you couldn’t tell.
Dude has been breaking all sorts of laws his entire life. Including during his first administration. His policies consistently hurt the majority of his constituents for the sole benefit of himself and his cronies. His behavior and rhetoric have made America even more of a laughing stock on the world stage and his campaign promises have near single handedly strengthened America's "enemies" and pushed away our "friends."
Trump did 3 good things in 4 years of office:
- Legalized Hemp
- Banned bump stocks (overturned by the judges he appointed)
- Expedited the covid vaccine production (botched everything else about the pandemic response including vaccine distribution)
Trump has flirted with a presidential run in 1988, 2000, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 under the Republican, Reform, and Democratic party tickets. It was only the republican party that he found bolstered enough support for him to win. He left the Reform party for the Democrats after involvement from David Duke. But later refused to disavow a direct endorsement from David Duke.
What does that tell you about Trump?
It tells me that he shops around looking out only for ways to bolster himself, his wealth, and his power. He doesn't have a consistent moral and he doesn't stand for America. He stands for Trump. His next administration is the wealthiest in history and his announced policies will siphon more money from the working class to him and his oligarchs. That's why I say that Trump's a RINO--he tried out a bunch of different parties and despite not sharing the traditional beliefs of the Republican platform calls himself a Republican because it serves him.
He's talked about invading our closest allies which has led directly to an increase in military recruitment not to fight our common enemies but to fight us directly.
He's talked about blanket tariffs on all foreign goods. These tariffs will be paid by the American public. This will encourage American companies to raise the price of their own goods to: 1) recover the extra cost of imported materials, 2) close the price gap between their own goods and the now more expensive foreign goods. This will also encourage foreign governments to establish retaliatory tariffs on American exports which will also lead to American companies raising prices to make up for lost sales. This won't just affect things like toys or electronics. American food is imported, lumber for home construction is imported, oil for gasoline is imported, electricity is imported. Literally everything in America will cost more if his tariffs go into effect.
I can afford that--can you?
Trump found a group of people that will blindly follow him and he manipulated and lied to them to convince them to give him power once again--even after getting our spies killed, leaking our nuclear and security secrets to our enemies, attempting a self coup to remain in power, and botching the plan to leave Afghanistan.
Trump supporters are not necessarily stupid people and I don't think someone is necessarily stupid for supporting him, but they haven't taken the time to look into and understand the effects of his claims, they were lied to, used, and led astray by a populist strongman who doesn't care about them and who will actively work to better himself at their expense.
I think you have it exactly backwards - that the people who hate him just in and of himself do so for very good reason - because he's a foul, self-absorbed, sociopathic serial liar, manupulator and rapist - and that it's the people who ignore the plain truth about him and grant him respect he doesn't deserve who are motivated by their own weakness.
No it's because he's a cunt
Cry more.
You want to hate him, but he's just so pathetic. Also the policies of the party are backwards. Just watch, you'll get everything you voted for and then some.
Tribalism, it comes down to if you're with our group, you must hate the other group.
This kind of thinking helps keep the working class divided and fighting over scraps while the owner class continues to rake in all the important resources.
George Carlin, comedian, has spoken about this:
"Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own, and control the corporations. They've long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear."
I would agree with you, around 90% of that I am in agreement.
I find it equally peculiar that the anti-police, "Trump is a Nazi fascist" crowd do not support the overthrow of the American government.
Yes, that is the difference between those that are revolutionaries instead of reformists.
A revolutionary is a person who either participates in, or advocates for, a revolution. The term revolutionary can also be used as an adjective to describe something producing a major and sudden impact on society.
Reformism is a political tendency advocating the reform of an existing system or institution – often a political or religious establishment – as opposed to its abolition and replacement via revolution.
