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!

The answer to your question is literally, unironically this:

Yeah, what OP posted isn't a gotcha for MAGA types. Speaking from experience, "because we said so" is literally what their policy justifications boil down to if you really corner them on justifying their policies.

This and you aren't allowed to say bad things about Israel.

God's chosen people. Please report to your nearest unmarked black van for fifty lashings for antisemitic speech

That's very 2024. Now they are arresting German and Northern European immigrants too. They are also moving past "illegal" because US visas don't actually mean a thing now - the US border control has arrested several people with valid visas already. And when people get used to this, they'll be able to disappear anyone and claim they weren't American citizens.

Family Guy really nailed it with that cutaway

I don’t think that’s a cut away but from when he joined a group of terrorists by accident

Wait I think I’m thinking of Simpsons NM

Wait, is the Lemmy version of r/conservative not full on MAGA? What's happening?

If I recall correctly, until recently (a few months ago?), this community was legit conservative. But then someone noticed all the mods had left. Users thought it would be funny to take the community over by posting conservative satire in it. New mods applied to take charge, they updated the sidebar, and now here we all are.

It's a satire sub. I use it to bitch about r/conservative

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ahhh that makes sense haha! Is there a conservative sub on Lemmy? New here but I like keeping in touch with what's being parroted on the right...!

I think they tried, but the least communist place on this website is the Linux sub on sh.itjust.works and they'll get pissy about the MIT license versus the GPL. The conservatives didn't stick around, the community went unmoderated, the local kids were looking for a fun clubhouse to play in...

I consider myself conservative in the way I live. I don't consider the majority of conservatives to be conservative in any way. Just regressive and greedy.

And this is from the gun rights and conspiracy theory crowd.

The deep state is the far right.

It should be snowing in the last frame as well.
