Update. That election ultimately did end up in a conservative loss. In no small part to the trump attitudes on geopolitics and the nonexistent “culture war”

He tried to mimic 2016 2020 trump. And it was palatteable to many

But when the 2025 version came out. It disgusted people

this outcome has less to do with trump’s actions, and more to do with how the conservatives behaved in spite of those actions.

I think enough people were like me, ready to vote conservative, but then lost faith in the party since they didnt really seem to have a plan on anything once trudeau was gone early. Pollievre’s stock tanked once people saw that Trudeau was gone, and what was happening in the world

Trump didnt cause the Conservatives to lose, they did that themselves with how they acted in spite of how Conservatives across the world were acting… and the fact that most of their platform revolved around just screaming “we’re not the liberals, we’re not trudeau”

they acted with an extreme amount of entitlement. that because the liberals had ruined the country for 10 years, it was now their turn. couple that with a lot of snide, childish shitposting, and an absolute bombardment of anti-trudeau ads and rhetoric, they basically bullied trudeau out of office, and once he was gone, they didnt have a platform anymore.

then enter the Trump , Trade war, and threats of Invasion shit. The conservatives basically waffled during this foreign policy crisis that pissed a lot of people off. the reality had changed and a lot of people felt like bringing a party that was polluted with the far right, was now no longer tenable.

the last 4 elections I’d voted L > C > C > L

Im a moderate. I thought that the Trudeau Liberals had gone too far left back during the Scheer and Otoole days. Come this time around, I just lost any confidence I had in the Conservative party because they built their identity on “we’re not the liberals”. and failed to convince me they werent just going to kowtow to American Corpo-Fascist interests.

But if you would have asked me about specific policies that irked me to turn Conservative during the past … its been a long time, I’d probably just point to specific times and incidents over the gun policy, immigration, corruption with the SNC lavalin scandal, and maybe foreign policy. I live in a very ignorant and uneducated town in a NS riding that had been pretty hardcore conservative the last 2-3 elections, and my peers probably played a hand in influencing my issues. I thought our riding was solidly going to remain Conservative, CTV projected Cons won, but several hours later they reversed it and Libs have apparentley won it.

Foreign Policy has always been a major “issue” of mine too, Until 2025 when we were faced with the nonzero possibility of actual aggression and conflict with America, the biggest thing that would influence my vote was how seriously the party was going to take the issue of us being more or less, de-facto at war with Russia, Because the “shadow” World War III is something that in my mind took precedent.

Jagmeet was getting wiped out regardless. The fatigue that existed for Trudeau was also present for Singh and Pollievre.

Liberals projected to hold a slim minority, the NPD was all but annihilated, Liberals will be forced to reach across the isle and work with the BQ.

Are the Bloc easier to work with than the NDP? history suggests no.

Honestley, I was going to vote conservative, even after Trump. And then Pollievre went into third gear with Woke Derangement Syndrome, the guy was having unhinged rants. Couldn’t get a paragraph out without mentioning woke. Ask him to define it, and he’d either PP.EXE stop responding, or he’d fly off the handle with pre-programmed slogans.

Stupid people on both sides of the race. But that was what turned me.

I’ve tried so many methods that ended in failure, I just gave up and learned to live without

different devices, AFAIK my work PC, personal desktop and both my old and new phone are probably comprmised somehow

tried using incognito mode, different browsers, coupled with different emails. even caved and tried a VPN,

always ended the same way. Make the account, and it gets shadowbanned as soon as I post. Even tried posting in completely different subs instead of the usual suspects.

until I commit to getting a burner laptop or some other device, they got me . I just dont care enough to go that extra step, its fucken reddit. the only thing reddit is good for is niche interest communities, hobbies, etc. the usual swill with News Politics and Sports is just blood pressure raising brainrot

I tried something similar and even waited not hours but months before I even attempted to log in. My account would be fine but the moment I post I get shadowbanned.

that part of my statement wasnt based in anything I know for certain, I see it mentioned a lot, I know they’re doing something with algorithms that auto-ban suspected accounts,

I wouldnt put it past them however. while I think my phone is comprimised anyway and unsuitable for going back to Reddit, I know that one way to get hardware id’d for good. is by installing that stupid reddit app, which I wont do ever

Judges aren’t supposed to be infallable, 20 minutes of watching Court Cam should have taught anyone that.

with that same principle in mind, I dont know how the same system can make a cabal of “supreme justices” and indemnify them absoluteley. (SCOTUS)

Now while you dont see Clarence Thomas jumping over the Judge Bench and throwing hands with attorneys like what you’ve seen on A&E shows every couple of months. He did take a staggering amount of Bribes. Still Untouchable.

Im not in any way agreeing with that Christofascist Bondi, but Im saying Judges are not untouchable, and shouldnt be.

anyone who makes that decision is, consciously in the moment, understanding their life is over.

ICE while in practice is acting like a secret police for the purposes of deporting undesireables of the regime, is still a federal police force, and a LOT of police are angry, trigger happy or bloodthirsty cokeheads.

you shoot at them, they’re killing you. end of story.

ml is unhinged. Its Tankies advocation for what they think is socialism, but they just end up regurgitating whatever the Kremlin propagates because they forgot Russia stopped being a Socialist country 30 years ago, and is a Capitalist Mafia state now,

only place I’ve ever been banned from here was not paying attention to which “channel” I was in since I dont fully understand how Lemmy works, and I ended up posting a comment to a thread I saw come up on the main page of lemmy.world when it was actually a lemmy .ml link, and people over there, most of them dont take too kindly to you insulting their Russian overlords,

.ml by and large are too ignorant to recognize the Russians aren’t their Socialist idols, they’re just a Capitalist oligarchic mafia state. So you make one comment that is percieved as being targetting against the Putin regime and you’re automatically assigned the label of a Pro Western NATOpill schill

the second you get flagged for ban evasion you are pretty much dead in the water. and you’ll have to move on to drastic, expensive measures to get around it. like a new device and probably a new network

even if your ban reason was false, if you make a new account, as far as they’re concerned thats grounds for a non-appeal permanent ban.

r/conservative is just a rebrand and refugee camp of r/thedonald , mildly adjusted to accept the new wave “conservatives” across the world, like Supporters of Fidesz (Hungary, Orban), RN (LePen, France), Canadian Maple MAGA, the Russian Mafia State and their blood drunk Nazi Z-Tards, and all of those Joe Rogan / Jordan Peterson / Ben Shapiro types.

Actual Conservatism is dead. its just Nazis and Fascists who hijacked the term for better brand imaging.

Lucky you, you got handled by a moderator who wasn’t a raging Trump whore.

I got permabanned after a week long ban for “threatening violence” when I suggested that if a Trump was elected (it was in Oct24) started directley Aiding Russia in their invasion of Europe, that they’d probably end up with a dead president. I appealed and suggested that I wasn’t threatening anyone, and that whoever banned me, was politically biased and triggered. and they flipped out and perma’d me.
