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.

Day 2 of lies

The very first paragraph!

There were few false or misleading claims on the second night of the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday. Speakers generally made factual statements, told personal stories, expressed subjective opinions or offered uncheckable predictions.

Little bit shocked that Bernie Sanders was responsible for two of the misleading claims. Fully half of the, uh, four headings in the article: a 'day of lies', producing four (4) lies? Guess they weren't working too fast.

The Project 2025 stuff IMO is fair game till Trump explains what he'd do differently. As far as I can see, it's at least consistent with his plans. If he wants Dems to shut up about it, he should say which parts and which authors he rejects. He can't just vaguely say, 'That document that says I should be a dictator? Nothing to do with my plans to be a dictator' and expect people to go: okay, cool.
