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 think it’s a matter of perspective. While there are intelligent conservatives, in America they vote Democrat.
What people refer to as Republican conservatism in the US is not actual cohesive conservative economic ideology, but a bunch of irrational bigoted nationalism. In the US they refer to actual conservatism as centrism.
