I'm a lefty and I came here expecting a shitshow, but instead I found a respectable, and these days, ballsy sidebar. (lemmy.world)

I know there are still people within the GOP who have not been caught up in the ugly direction that it has gone. It is actually very good to find evidence of their existence.

I would love to see an honorable, democracy embracing, non-discriminating branch of the GOP rise up become popular. In fact, half the Democratic party would probably be more aligned with the GOP. Yet, the GOP looked to the extreme right, bigots, racists, and even fascists to expand their voter base. This is not only wrong, but unsustainable.

Anyway, the only voice in this community right now is this “technological determinist”, social democrat. Statistically, one in a hundred members actually comment. I’m actually rooting for you guys to become an active community and until then, it looks like I’m your spokesman. Hehe.

Discussion of/and Topics related to the Republican Party (NOTE: ANY AND ALL LINKS POINTING TO FAR-RIGHT WEBSITES/CONTENT CREATORS IS BANNED AND CAN/WILL LEAD TO A BAN FROM THE COMMUNITY.).

RULES:

1: The Goldwater Rule due to the rise of Nutjob Incels in the GOP, any and all content that is glorifying any kind of White Supremacist along with spreading lies from these people leads to an automatic ban. The reason for it being called the Goldwater Rule is that he sort of caused this to happen.
2: The Fuentes Rule This is more or less a Rule 1.1, but also contains more specific information about far-right content here. First of all, if it is used for a quote then that is mostly okay unless there is Racism in the quote. But otherwise it is banned.
3: The Trump Rule You can not glorify Trump here. He was not the second coming of Christ.

More rules are Coming Soon (when needed)
