~~the GOP~~ America and Christianity are deeply intertwined to the point of inseparability.

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Actual conservative here. To me it mostly means a defense of the essential culture and values of Christendom, AKA Western civilization.

I have had no interaction with anyone from Hexbear. Personally do not support Russia or the CCP, But I also stand against defederation, regardless of their stances on any topic. It doesn't make someone a "inflammatory troll" just because they hold different opinions than you. Even if there really are inflammatory trolls coming from that server, it should be enough to block them if you personally dislike them. In general, it's healthy to expose ourselves to a wide diversity of opinions, and to respectfully discuss topics with people who disagree with us.

Well okay then. I'm going to delete this personal attack on me now. Consider yourself warned.

Wow. Calm down. I read the Bible (which starts with a capital B, btw) every day. Do you care to address any of the points I made?

I suppose the true libertarian position would be to say "all magazines must be open to all content." But I am not a libertarian, and this is not a libertarian magazine.

Like any magazine other than m/random, this one has a topic. And that topic is conservative perspectives. You have the rest of the Fediverse to discuss anything else.

Within the realm of conservative perspectives, everyone is free here to speak openly.

You sure don't sound like much of a conservative.

• This magazine has a clear Mission Statement, and clear rules indicating that it must be followed. Those who break the rules get banned.
• The conservative position is, generally speaking, that climate is in God's hands, and that climate alarmism is a hoax. All scientists who advocate for alarmism are funded by the government, and are not acting as scientists when they advocate for the government to regulate business in the name of impending doom. Chicken Little is not at home here.
• What is this about racism? The conservative position is, generally speaking, that skin color doesn't matter whatsoever, and merit does. This has been the Republican position since the birth of the party. Democrats are the ones who are, and always have been, obsessed with melanin levels. What makes you think that I "love racism"? That accusation sure does appear to be libel.
• DeSantis is probably our best hope of getting elected. What exactly don't you like about him?

Overall, this is a strange post that seems to be written by a rabid leftist. I'll leave it up long enough to give you a chance to defend yourself. For a true conservative, you sure don't seem to act like one.

That's a fair criticism, and I gratefully accept it. But the user who posted it was, as far as I gathered, not a conservative. This magazine is meant to be a place for conservatives. Please see the Mission Statement. This is not a place for leftists, who outnumber us 1000 : 1 in the Fediverse, to discuss or debate. A political debate magazine would be more appropriate for that. If you'd like to present a conservative critique of this article, the petition it's written about, or that particular sponsorship alleged from this leftist source, you're freely welcome to do so.

I did a double-take at the news source, thinking this has to be a Babylon Bee article. But no, NASCAR really has gone fully woke. Like Bud Light, they apparently hate their own market.

And to think that guys drinking Bud Light while watching NASCAR once sounded like a good time for normal conservatives. It was not all that long ago.
