    You can have that. But I also want conservatives in the Fediverse to simulate societal debate better here. Defederation still exists, of course.

    It’s not about agreeing on everything but about finding common grounds again between opposing parties that at least share some common values.

        That’s black and white thinking and undemocratic. Conservatives respect democracy and should therefore be a part of it.

        Also they obviously something to contribute, next to Liberalism and Socialism, Conservatism is one of the biggest political traditions. Let’s not be so stupid to assume that it’s complete bullshit.

        Conservatism protects traditional institutions, watches that change is not too fast and traditionally, also warns against too much destructering of traditional societal structures by the market. Maybe modern conservatives don’t necessary do all of that, but it’s a tradition that has earned itself.
