I don’t have much of a problem either way as I don’t think I’ll be engaging in political discussion on this website past this post but it seems like any sort of non-left wing opinions or posts are immediately trashed on here. That’s fine. There’s clearly a more liberal audience here and that’s okay. I just don’t want Lemmy to become a echo chamber for any side and it seems to be that way when it comes to politics already.

Mostly making this post just to drum up discussion as I’m new here.

I would agree with you, but at least in the US majority of conservatives fully embraced those moronic ideas.

The people that call themselves conservatives no longer are conservatives, their only goal is how to hurt “liberals”.

At this point true conservatives that still care about the country started voting for democrats or not vote at all, but they are now labeled as RINOS.

I know it is a loaded term, and many will quickly dismiss it, (but it is correct given the definition), but the party was taken over by fascists and real conservatives aren’t doing anything to take their party back.

Compared to most countries, Democrats are conservatives. And Republicans are extreme right wing.

The US doesn’t have a left wing party. Nor even a truly centrist one.
