Memes, comics, onion-type articles etc making fun of conservatives is what's accepted here

Serious articles, discussions, information, infographics etc please post to [email protected] where the wonderful @[email protected] tries to moderate actually fair conservative debates

If you want the conservative space for conservatives to spout their bigotry, Nazism, xenophobia etc etc please see [email protected] or the HilariousChaos instance in general, "The Friendlier ExplodingHeads Instance" ™

I'll also be updating the display name to make it more clear when searching for a comm in the new post screen

I am officially a mod of [email protected] ! What does that mean?

It means that this comm will be transitioning into a satire of conservatives comm, please look to what's been posted the last week or so for an idea of what I mean. I have purged the "serious" content (Yes that does mean some *anti-*conservative content was purged as well) for the past 2 weeks or so. I'll be continuing with time to purge it all.

I have decided against banning the right-wing users who've been posting the "serious" misinformation content from before this post because, unlike some conservatives, I don't believe in retroactive punishment when the rules change.

(To those users this post is the official warning, no trolling, no serious content or conservative supporting comments.

Continuing to post such content after the time this post is live will result in bans.)

Do watch your step during re-construction! Below is a draft set of rules that I had posted in my LW support request post, feel free to propose any suggestions! (The side bar has yet to be updated)

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. Highlight Contradictions: The best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.

1. Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.

1. No News Zone: Memes only, news should be sent to the nearest relevant comm

1. Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them.

1. Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way.

1. Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.

1. Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm.

1. Remember The Purpose: This community exists as a pressure valve—a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics.

Don't worry @[email protected] I havent forgotten you, just got to get things organized out and settled

(I might be chronically online to some, but I still have IRL things to attend to lol)

Finally, I'll be getting in contact with other instance admins that may have blocked this comm for their instance from when it was "serious", I already know lemmy.blahaj.zone is one. But please lmk of any others you're aware of!

For now, I will allow tasteful, on topic and tagged NSFW. Just don't let it get out of hand.

Welcome to the new [email protected] everyone! Have fun!

A man who authorities say submitted two separate mail-in ballots during the 2024 general election now faces charges in federal court.

Jeffrey Pope, 65, of Washington Township was indicted in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh on one count each of voter fraud and voting more than once in a federal election.

Their records show that Pope was registered as a Republican, a Department of State spokesperson said.

Just two guys who definitely are not racist talking about times when it's good to be racist.

I would like to take a moment to separate the truth from the lies regarding Charlie Kirk. There is much misinformation surrounding his life as well as his unfortunate death.

Charlie Kirk was an outspoken champion of equality, tolerance and unity. He spent many years in his teens, twenties, and right up until his death at 31 years old at protests and rallies, leading the charge for civil rights, gay/trans rights, and many other causes that he felt strongly about.

When he was 28, he met Syreeta Jenkins (26) at one of the many events that he sponsored and participated in. The two of them could not have been any more opposite. Charlie, a white cis male from Arlington Heights, Illinois, and Syreeta, a black trans woman from Virginia Beach, Virginia. The differences didn't matter though. They bonded over their shared passion for justice and equality, They quickly fell in love and together, for the next three years they were a very powerful force for radical positive change.

On the morning of September 10th 2025, Charlie awoke with purpose in his soul and heart. That day, his schedule had him giving a lecture at a highly regarded medical school on the benefits of vaccines, another topic which he was passionate about. Then, after the lecture, he quickly hit the streets to preach his message of equality, unity, tolerance and acceptance at a local protest.

After he was done with the protest, he and Syreeta met back at her house. They decided to have some drinks, and eventually made the mutual and misguided decision to use drugs, fentanyl to be specific. They had done this hundreds of times before without issue, but this time was different.

They both lost consciousness around 1015pm, according to Syreeta. She claims to have woken up shortly afterward at around 1030, to find Charlie on the floor, unresponsive. She immediately dialed 911, told the dispatcher what was going on, and proceeded to begin CPR in hopes of saving his life. Unfortunately, this didn't work, and Charlie was pronounced dead at 1147pm on September 10th, just moments before the beginning of his favorite holiday.

The conservative disinformation machine was working overtime in the moments following his death. Through the use of generative AI and mass media, a narrative that he was assassinated because he was a conservative podcaster was constructed, and they placed the blame on a nonexistent man named Tyler Robinson. Over the next few days, the entirety of the right wing (who had never even heard of him until after his unfortunate overdose) bought into this lie, and rallied around the false belief that Charlie was assassinated for having and speaking controversial and conservative beliefs at a college in Utah. This is a complete and blatant fabrication.

Over the next few weeks, Charlie became a martyr for MAGA. After his death and the great lie surrounding it, people began changing their social media profile pictures to images of him. People began getting tattoos of his face and false quotes that were misattributed to him. People began getting fired for being critical of him or the fabricated story that had been built up around him.

Most people still do not know the truth, which is why I am making this post. The US government have done an extraordinary job of burying this young man's entire past, propping up a false one, and selling the lie of his life and death to MAGA as a christ-like martyrdom tale. I hope that you will share this story with your friends. It's time that America be told the truth.
