I think that's fair though. If you create a community for conservatives to speak to conservatives then that is who you want there. If you're in a community about skateboarding, you don't want to be inundated with people constantly saying that skateboarding is dumb.
(To give some context, I do happen to think conservatism is dumb, but I'm also able to see their point of view and why they would want private communities online. I have no opinions on skateboarding)
If your community consistently berates safe spaces, then making a safe space for your community is hypocritical.
"If you need a safe space, you're a special libtard snowflake who hates reality, logic, and free speech....
....... Now stay out of our safe space"
Safe spaces aren't bad, but any conservative who hangs out in one is loudly and openly admitting to the world that they believe anything they say and spout their garbage only to control and suppress those they don't like.
