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 [email protected]

  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!

You should see the post now. All the top comments are talking about downvote bots and fake conservatives as comments saying that it's illegal to ask for transparency are getting over 100 downvotes. They really go to great lengths and mental gymnastics just to assure themselves that they are all on the same side and everyone else is wrong. And if you don't 100% agree with everything that the government is doing you are a fake conservative, a bot, or their sub is getting invaded by the libs.

And I love how they always tell liberals that the internet isn't the real world and that they are just living in an echo chamber while they live in the biggest echo chamber I have ever seen. Where posts are only made by like 7 people and nobody is allowed to comment unless you have flair that says you can. And if you disagree in any way you get banned.

Here I'll save anyone the trouble, since I have the proper hazmat gear:

To me this one is sus

I remember visiting the sub back in 2016 before it turned into to the_donald 2.0. Like, anyone could post there, it was garbage but it was fine. I might be mixing it up with r/askconservatives in my head, it was a long time ago, but overall I remember them being at least open to having outsiders contribute.

This dude acting like "been here since 2020" is a thing.

You're correct on all counts. It was fine in the beginning, you could definitely have good faith arguments about opinion-based stuff. I think you could even choose a left wing flair.

Then MAGA took over the sub...which led to brigading....which led to paranoia about brigaders...which presumably led to Flaired Users Only (I got banned before that change so I'm not sure)

That's hilarious. I love it when they haven't come to a conclusion regarding a conspiracy.
