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.

Lol don't be fooled this costs way more than any "savings". And it's factually illegal.

And it’s factually illegal.

Then no reason to be upset. It'll just get overturned then, right?

If someone torches your house down but your insurance pays out it's all good, right?

It's 1 billion dollars. Literally 3$ per person.

I hear the government is funneling billions to some sort of satellite internet thing that wouldn't be economically viable without those subsidies. Maybe they should look into that waste.
