The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Fuck your feelings MAGAt.

[–] blady_blah@lemmy.world 51 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

I just like to thank the universe that my parents aren't dumb enough to be Trump supporters.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

Jesus now that's fucking luck.

[–] zippythezigzag@lemm.ee 9 points 10 hours ago

Lucky fucker. My parents and my wife's parents are.

[–] pepperjohnson@lemm.ee 8 points 12 hours ago

Must be nice...

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

I kinda resent the fact that I’m a lefty American in the 21st century. I could be so so so happy about the state of things, if only I were wired differently.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

if these people were capable of being happy they wouldn't dedicate their entire lives to making people mad at all costs. they literally vote for things that might ruin their own lives just to own the libs. it's the classic bully: unloved, pathetic shits with nothing to live for, trying to step on others to feel worthy.

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 26 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I disagree. Conservatism (and to a greater extent Nazism) are built on fear and hatred. The Republican party knows that and spends significant money and effort to make people as fearful as possible. The Republicans may win but they are fundamentally unhappy. Their happiness, if you can really call it that, is primarily Schadenfreude at "sticking it to the libs"

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Buddy, this is a pathetic coping mechanism. You want so badly to believe they are miserable, because you just can't fathom that life would be so unfair as to make them happy.

As the lone liberal in a large family of conservatives, let me tell you, they're not miserable. My family group chat has been filled with happy vacation photos, play date arrangements for kids, jokes, and laughter.

The truth is, most conservatives don't actually care about "sticking it to the libs"; they just don't give a shit at all. They don't listen to the news, they don't talk about politics, they don't have any significant worries. They go to their straight, white, Christian churches; talk to their straight, white, Christian friends; and discuss how great their straight, white, Christian families are.

Of course they have fear and hatred of anything that isn't straight, white, or Christian; but that by no means makes them unhappy. They live in their bubbles, and inside their bubble, everything is nice and perfect. It's those filthy liberals, who were so cruel as to occasionally make them look outside of their bubble, that were the real problem. And now that they're out of office and they never have to leave or look outside their bubbles again, everything is once again perfect. Just perfect.

Substitute "Baptist" for "Christian," and you just exposed my entire extended family.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Sadness upvote.

I've been on the other side of the fence. There's no solice there. Unless you like being led to steeper and steeper cliffs and "trusting jesus" if you jump off this next one you'll surely not lose a part of yourself or even worse, die.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 15 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

anyone who is not a trump supporter, is usually banned from the sub.

[–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 7 points 9 hours ago

Reddit as a whole can arguably considered an echo chamber, but that subreddit is the definition of an echo chamber, they ban everyone who dares criticize Trump. Then they bitch that Reddit is a left wing propaganda. How ignorant and stupid do you have to be to think like that?

[–] notarobot@lemm.ee 39 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

I support Donald fucking trump, Pluto fucking trump, Mickey fucking trump

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I'm not sure his other daddies want to share.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

He'd probably like it though

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 52 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

You don't have to thank the universe, thank your parents/caretakers/teachers for raising you right

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 30 points 20 hours ago

my mom supported trump in 2020, my teachers aren't allowed to speak of LGBT topics, books are banned, hell my teachers aren't allowed to legally use my name.

The only real thing keeping me from becoming a trump supporter was my sister.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 23 points 22 hours ago

You can't put it all on parenting I almost went down a trump loving path I think and I doubt my parents would have cought on to early 4chan stupidity that would have got me

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 9 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Thank your state and community for having values beyond dog-eat-dog

I'm out of the loop and this looks hilarious if it is what I think it is.

Yeah, I’m confused too. Where does it say this is from /r/conservative? It says it’s posted on /r/self. Granted, I only ever used old Reddit, so maybe I’m missing something about this layout, but where’s the evidence this is at “the top of r conservative”?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago

Today, I am euphoric.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 23 hours ago

Oooooooh, that X icon is to close the image and this is r/conservative.

I was wondering what that post is doing on iFixit subreddit
