For years conservatives dog whistled about their veiled racism, xenophobia, violent tendency etc. It took someone like trump to say the quiet part out loud...

And he was rewarded with control of the entire party and eventually government. Is it going to take another populist to get these repugnant assholes to own their descent into fascism? Who will be the one to give the NAZI salute and proudly say Seig Heil? Who will be the one to say all other branches of government besides the executive have been dissolved and we will act as a vessel state of Russia? It took them 30+ years to own what they are now. Will it take another 30+ years before they openly argue in favor of dictatorship or oligarchy?

If history can predict future outcomes the person who steps up the rhetoric is the next GOP king. Will it be trump himself?

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!
