Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

And your solution is to shame and dehumanize the entire conservative community into submission/irrelevance? Labelling everyone on your right a villain, nazi, fascist or whatever solves absolutely nothing and kills any attempt at honest discourse.
I don't have to label conservatives anything. They have done that for me.
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Conservatives are incapable of entering a discourse in good faith.
After all, they said it themselves:

The concept of good faith goes both ways.
I'm sorry but hardly anything you said about conservatives in this thread was in good faith. Otherwise, kindly point me to any moderate conservative casually calling themself a villain.
If there's a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you've got a table with 11 Nazis.
If you vote for villains, you are a villain.
How old are you people???
I'm pretty old. I retired a few years ago. Thanks for asking.
Old enough to remember that you punch Nazis, you don't appease them

Everything I have said in this thread has been factual. I am not attempting to convince you of anything. I am pointing out the harmful, grotesque nature of conservatism. You disagree. I understand. Thank you for your feedback.
You are now free to return to stormfront or nambla or wherever conservatives like to hang out these days.
There it is, calling me a conservative without any proof. Good job grouping me with all the other "villains". Nevermind that I'm a life-long leftie who understands nuance.
Aight, it's getting late here. Good luck with that two party system of yours. Seems to work out great for you! Go extremism!
When you defend evil, you should not be so suprised to be called evil.
