A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Nothing about the hunter laptop story had any merit whatsoever. You are a great example of why people can't be trusted.

Despite persistent allegations that the laptop contents indicated corruption by Joe Biden, a joint investigation by two Republican Senate committees released in September 2020 did not find wrongdoing by him, nor did a Republican House Oversight committee investigation by November 2023.

And then we get:

People should be able to read and evaluate the information and make their own decisions.

Yeah...fucking no. We had to stop using the phrase "Avoid it like the plague" because of "reading and evaluating the information on their own". We had people saying that covid vaccines contained tracking chips and 5g and all sorts of vastly stupid shit. You, and people like you, are the reason that the general public cannot be trusted to determine what information is factual and what information is not. You can't even be trusted to not regurgitate "HUNTER LAPTOP HURR DURRR"; even though it's already a done deal. You are the epitome of propagandized.
