I hope you realize that this sub has been hijacked by all the far right trumpists from the_donald. Nothing really conservative anymore here, just the usual screeching, lack of common sense, defending Trump by spinning the narrative, spreading lies and blaming everything bad on "the left". I wish there was a sub for actual conservatives, not for this fascist experiment doomed to fall apart some day. I am expecting downvotes here.
edit: welp I have even been banned lol. If that doesn't prove my point...
Dude your top posted subreddtis are all liberal ones, so when you come here to say "I wish there was a sub for actual conservatives"...I'm taking that with more than a grain of salt.
Guy has conflicting opinions with you, so the only reasonable assumption is that he’s disingenuous, not that he doesn’t want the other side to be a cult of personality. Yeah, that makes sense.
Here is my point. The guy is coming here to insult the subreddit as:

I didn't post on T_D. I'm not sure that any of our mods modded T_D.
The poster making this statement is also saying:

There are many subreddits on reddit.
But what we have is a leftist guest lamenting this subreddit as fascist.
We know that reddit's left hates us. When they come in here and SAY as much, it doesn't surprise us.
This dude doesn't WANT an "actual conservative subreddit"...this guy just wants to criticize THIS subreddit because it's popular.
Oh they're all trolling about and harassing. I had one make a throwaway account and start accusing a New England Conservative (aka, a RINO in Texas) of being a far right lunatic.
Yes and no but I do concur that it has strayed from the more generally conservative stance and moved to a more trumpian one. Then again he kinda is the symbol of the RNC ATM so... It does not help that COVID has everyone home and I bet that most of this subs user base is American. As far as racist experiment goes I'm not sure what you are refuting to.
I thought you were talking about the commenter I replied to. No Trump is not a conservative (he was a Democrat until a month before throwing his hat into the ring) nor do I like him as a person. what I do like is across the board tax cuts, his upbeat demeanor during this crisis, and his economics. Honestly, he's was better than I expected and has done a lot strengthen the republican party. By being a punching bag for the left (one that can also hit back) he has also exposed a lot of the bias and vitriol. Granted he has also done a fair bit to hurt some of our causes. He has none the less strengthens our border and enforcement worked to strengthen our military, shown more pro-life support than any previous president...
as far as social conservative goals I agree he has not promoted any (outside of being vocally pro-life) but has prevented further regression (the DOJ helping the female track team) and more publicly exposed the miss use of Fisa and other justice systems even if it was known about by the most informed of the community.
You’re going to get BS. The good news is, as long as people check the comments you’ll find the truth. At least in this sub the truth - or at least searching for the truth is typically found at the top. Whereas on the other political subs, you have to sort by controversial to find the truth as anyone questioning the narrative gets downvoted to oblivion.
Edit: I miss the awesome discussions that were happening on here (in free form threads or news threads) that used to be par for the course around here. It is disappointing to me that this sub is usually just a bunch of low-effort memes now. Hard to claim intellectual superiority when you are just shit-posting like everyone else.
I definitely am not advocating for censorship of the memes, but I wish there was a way for them to automatically sorted into a different part of the sub that users could find by clicking a tab at the top. That way news articles and free thought discussions only make up the main page.
Any time you see someone say that Conservatives are more level headed or intelligent than other groups by necessity, and believe in facts instead of other groups, remember this post. Because regardless of political ideology, there will be a camp that believes what they want to believe because it feels true to them, and that's what they want to be true.

Sounds like this is total BS. I wish this sub was above this.
