A community for some conservative points of view. You can comment but not post articles, because there are bad-faith posters who want to post horrible content just to get people in trouble.
Rule 0: Serial downvoters who downvote out of hate and don't interact with the community will be banned.
🍃🌻 Rule 1: Kindly be empathetic and kind to others. Trolling and spamming will not be tolerated. Making the community a friendly & supportive place is our goal.
All of us are here for a short lifetime. Let’s have a nice time here and avoid negativity. :)
Please be respectful, even if you don't agree.
Don't personally attack people. Don't call them names.
Be grown-ups.

I'm saying that diversity wraps up the the entirety of DEI. It's all the same thing in modern context. If you support diversity, then that means you support equity and inclusion. If you didn't, then you wouldn't be accepting diversity.
And yes, regardless of the narrative that Lemmy likes to put out there, most conservatives are not against diversity. LIke I said, there are many diverse conservatives. Minorities, gay, etc.
Did you think that only straight white guys were conservative?
And I know for a fact that an amount of liberals follow the Christian Bible. 10 commandments, literally tells them what to do and not to do and they take the whole thing so seriously.
And plenty of liberals are muslim, baha'i, jewish, orthodox, Buddhist, etc.
What about all the atheist conservatives? Or the Buddhist conservatives. Or the gay conservatives. Or the black conservatives. Or the indian conservatives, etc. How would you explain that if all conservatives are just christians who only follow the bible?! lol
You're young. You haven't even seen close to much of the real world yet. You're getting most of your info from Lemmy, Reddit, and streamers. That's just not reflective of most of the US.
Which is why Trump won, and you all were so surprised. Because you just don't know how most of the US really is.
It's just like when Luigi shot the healthcare exec. If you followed and believed Lemmy, you'd think the whole world was gonna rise up and stand against healthcare and rich people!!
It didn't happen. LMAO There was no revolution. There will be no revolution. Lemmy is just not representative of reality. So when Lemmy is telling you that all conservatives are against DEI, they're wrong. And sometimes just outright lying to sway people like you.
I'm not here to change your mind on shit. Just do your own research. Listen to different news programs, both liberal AND conservative.
If you listen to both, and stay in the middle, you'll realise a lot of the misinformation is put out the to make sure people don't agree. lol.
Because you didn't think conservatives believed in DEI. Dude, conservatism is DEI.
SOME do, not all. Just like there are some liberals that use specific translations of the Bible. You do realize that not all conservatives are religious, and not all liberals are non-religious, right?
Plenty of things are true whether you believe them or not. Do you seriously think Trump and Musk read the bible and are religious?! LMAO Come on, man. Give me a break.
How old are you?
Dude, I'm not really here to have a historical debate on DEI. Nothing I say is gonna change your mind. You think all conservatives are against equality, I have said they are not. Just a quick search shows information that backs BOTH of our responses, so this debate is pointless.
Just a quick search at fox news shows:
Democrats have lost their way on women's sports | Fox News March 18, 2025 — Their alarmist strategy opposing a straightforward bill to define female athletes for the purpose of enforcing equal opportunity under Title IX ...
FaviconFox News CHRISTOPHER RUFO: The campaign for colorblind equality just ... January 20, 2025 — The polling data indicated that Americans supported a "colorblind society" over a "race-
Not to mention major republicans have shown it: Ken Mehlman, former chairman of the Republican National Committee, has been a prominent advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. He lobbied Republican legislators to support same-sex marriage and argued that such support aligns with conservative principles of individual freedom and limited government.
Not to mention all the black republicans and black republican supporters. Gay republican and gay republican supporters. Minority republicans and minority republican supporters.
And I know you can find just as many articles that show they don't.
But the mere fact that there are plenty of examples to prove both of our points shows that not ALL republicans are againts DEI. I'm republican and I am not against DEI.
Move on. This argument will go nowhere.
I also know that if a republican left a fucking brick, with nazi symbols and words on it, on a car in a Jewish neighborhood, Lemmy would call that person a Nazi. You know this too.
I'm saying that anyone, regardless of party, who leaves a fucking brick, with nazi symbols and words on it, on a car in a Jewish neighborhood, is a Nazi.
Move on. I'm not changing my mind. Neither are you.
