Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

MODERATORS
"Conserving the corrupt establishment" is the only thing "conservative" has ever meant. Any claims to the contrary have only ever been lies intended to delude their marks and useful idiots.
Implausible.
It means many different things. [Thus cannot be "only"]
Even if after the alleged original fact, that's not "ever".
They don't get to dictate the one true way, and rewrite history.
And I suggest you should not be repeating their propaganda so.
Exactly, which is why you shouldn't believe them when they pretend conservatism is anything but defending hierarchy.

This still seems to fall foul of the orwellian contortion and conflation and inversion of language, subtly doing the very thing overtly advising shouldn't be done. Can't get there from here. [Edit: from where they're capitulated to and held at the head of the hierarchy of who gets to define words.]
