It’s images like this and the victim mentality they foster which allows liberals to mock and take advantage of conservatives.

Those who think there’s literally a genocide on conservatives coming are no better than the QAnon quacks who managed to humiliate everyone with their cultism.

Save the pearl clutching and actually fight for conservative values based on reality.

Read some history books, those people who died in a genocide were also deniers, or they wouldn't have been there.

Besides that being completely false, the idea that current events are a precursor to genocide is ridiculous and that so many people believe it shows the problems for conservatives to try and overcome.

Liberals have a bunch of crazies who want to push insane policies under the banner of progression, while Republicans are stuck with a bunch of crazies who thought QAnon was real and they’re about to be dragged off to gas chambers any day now.

Just pretend then for a second that they did intend to genocide us. What steps would they be taking? How similar are they to what is happening now?

Let’s be real, the media in the US is a joke but it has been for decades. Liberal media dominates as it has more large scale board casters, but there is no shortage of large right leaning outlets who still exist and both sides publish utter trash with little to no regulation.

Big tech has pushed the balance more in favour of liberals as social media has became a new way to consume information and I’m sure the debate on what should be allowed will rage on for many more years (should ISIS have been allowed to recruit on Twitter under the banner of free speech for example).

So while the media and tech world is very much against Conservatives at the moment, this isn’t an indication of more to come. If there was a total purge of all conservatives then I’d be more likely to agree, but this hand wringing crowd are the same as those who promised Obama would take everyone’s guns and it never happened.

More than half of Republicans call liberals enemies who are a threat, they could use the same fear based opinions that Republicans are coming for them too. Yes things are shit right now, but it’s hard to turn it around when so many allies are camped out in their basements with 5 years worth of food and ammo waiting for a civil war instead of campaigning and trying to change minds.

What do you mean by this? If any high profile conservative starts telling the truth about a matter they don't want people to know about, they are silenced. The only reason many conservatives even have a voice at the moment is through alt tech, and sites like gab you can only donate to through check. Every payment processor has cancelled them.

With what army? They control the media, they control big tech, they control the entirety of the federal government and many state ones. That's not a reasonable fear. They aren't being cancelled by anyone, they have the support of the entire establishment and every big business. They don't need to worry about their bank refusing to do business with them, they don't need to worry about being deplatformed, they don't need to worry about anything. If anyone comes for them, it won't be the Republicans. It will be the same tyrants they gave power to.

I'm not sure what you want to happen here. We can't campaign online because we're banned from everywhere but these alt tech sites that have been labeled white supremacist gatherings or whatever by the MSM. You want people to just go outside and stand on a soapbox? Even if that got a bunch of attention, in many states unless people were waving BLM flags around and looting Targets the oathbreakers would be there to arrest everybody for violating COVID edict.

“Telling the truth”, no.

Most of the Conservatives purged have been the absolute idiots pushing insanity and making everyone look like idiots.

Where was the kraken, where was QAnon, where was the SCOTUS, where was Pence saving the day? These people humiliated Conservatives with their lies or shilling of absolute garbage, every time it didn’t come true then the goalposts were moved and more people “became enemies or traitors”.

I’m not willing to give up long held beliefs on how businesses are allowed to conduct themselves for the likes of Lin Wood. We still have people like Trumps family members untouched, which does nothing to further the idea that all are targeted.

I agree it seems insane to think that we could be headed for a genocide. And I'm sure whatever comes won't be "Race based" but rather "these people have values incompatible with the state" "these people are too greedy and we need to redistribute their assets to all the families that they oppressed" and it will "coincidentally" target white conservatives with a handful of token minorities mixed in.

However, all the priming is there. If you compare where we are to other nations throughout history, if disarmament is attempted it's going to get very very ugly. Either through bloody resistance or camps.
