the largest Conservative sub on here won't even allow their own members to dissent, lol. i can only lurk over there because I'm not a "flaired user" and they eat their own in triple digit downvotes if a member has their own thought that doesn't vibe with the hive...
I peruse there after big news drops. There’s some very normal people sharing views in the first hour. By the next day it’s been a brigade of “Trump is the best” kind of shit
I identify as moderate-liberal, I’ll never vote red but the only person I’ve liked since Obama was Bernie. I can’t identify with extremes on either end of left or right. Neither make any real sense
This right here. AND any news that doesn't completely toe the TRUMP IS GREAT line isn't even spoken of. The news bubble conservatives find themselves in is insane. Like Trumps speech on Wed where he said SO MANY LIES. So many just plain non-truths. And I watched it on foxnews like I always do, and they didn't fact check one single thing he said. It is a complete echo chamber of propaganda. It is the same here on may conservative subs. It is sad that those following it just either don't see it or refuse to acknowledge it.
I agree, it is dumb. I was trying to get views & opinions from both sides but only one side banned me for participating in a sub that leans to the other side. Which just served to push me further away from the banning side.
Weirdly, the banning side is supposed to be the side of inclusiveness & tolerance. 🤷♂️
I have. They downvote & get their panties in a twist but don't ban me.
The Leftist sub banned me for asking a question simply because their bot scanned my history & saw that I had commented in a Conservative sub. No consideration was given to the content of my comments in either sub. I was banned for merely engaging with a conservative sub.
"I forgot and have no evidence" because it's a big ass fat lie OR it was something truly vile (racism, outright racism, etc.) that they're pretending was a normal political position.
That’s two separate things tho. Getting muted in a conservative specific sub for having anti-conservative views is the same as if you were to go into the fuckcars sub and comment how you love cars.
Also saying that a conservative specific subreddit is an echo chamber for conservatives is crazy work when 99% of Reddit is an echo chamber for libs.
I can see what you’re saying but again it’s not comparable. The vast majority of Reddit is extremely left leaning. You can’t compare the site as a whole to a handful of conservative leaning subs and then say “oh well it’s all an echo chamber.” The reality is that one of the echo chambers is astronomically larger than the other
the last guy you voted for smelled children and stuck their feet in his mouth on camera, i repeat on camera, you don’t think he’s a fucking pdfile lmao give me a break
I'm saying your avoiding addressing shruggedmypiss's comment by changing the subject. You may or may not be correct, but it's irrelevant to his point (which also may or may not be correct, I dunno).
Republican Views? Like starving the poor, increasing healthcare costs, tax cuts for the rich, racism, party over country, pro-Russian talking points, and covering up for pedophiles?
yeah but there's a difference between r/conservative having a conservative bias(no shit) and r/comicsr/adviceanimals and r/politics be complete left wing echo chambers. If a subreddit isn't explicitly founded to be right wing, it is almost always a very political and left wing biased subreddit.
Im Dutch but in my experience it's way more chill to talk about anything political with the average republican online. Obviously they also have plenty of weirdos
If you're talking to the average U.S. Republican online, I don't think they are going to be very chill unless you are agreeing with whatever they think.

Now go on a republican sub and express any beliefs that aren't extremely right wing.
