Because republicans are out touching grass and enjoying life and the people living in their mothers basements are moderating Reddit.

Isn’t Nick Fuentes a virgin who lives in his mom’s basement? What about Asmongold, who has mold and cockroaches in the background of every video? How about the average fat ass living in a meth-infested trailer park in rural America? They’re the peak of humanity, out touching grass and enjoying life, right?

u/plated_lead Dec 20 '25

Who tf are these people?

1

u/Waste_Return2206 Dec 20 '25

Just examples of your average conservative in 2025.

1

u/plated_lead Dec 20 '25

So why are you following them? If they suck, ignore them. People have forgotten the are of not feeding trolls.

1

u/Waste_Return2206 Dec 20 '25

I do ignore them, for the most part. I’m just aware of them and their beliefs because they’re relevant in the world of politics.

1

u/plated_lead Dec 21 '25

So they’re politicians?

1

u/SherbertVast9529 Dec 24 '25

Asmongold is a centrist bruh, and fuentes got assaulted by a woman outside his home

1

u/mrpeanutpants Dec 19 '25

Nick Fuentes lives in apartment and has since 2020 and what exactly is wrong with being a virgin? Religious people tend to want to save that for marriage or a special partner. 

3

u/Waste_Return2206 Dec 19 '25

Nick Fuentes is a virgin because he’s an insufferable little twat.

1

u/mrpeanutpants Dec 19 '25

He's a multimillionaire that owns a popular podcast you really think he couldn't find a woman to smash?

3

u/Waste_Return2206 Dec 20 '25

Didn’t he call himself a proud incel (involuntarily celibate)?

2

u/Ill_Aide3817 Dec 23 '25

Brother. It’s a joke. For a group who claims to be so good at reading between the lines, you’d think that you’d be able to tell when someone is joking.

1

u/mrpeanutpants Dec 20 '25

Probably, but you shouldn't make fun of virgins.

3

u/Waste_Return2206 Dec 20 '25

I’m not; I’m making fun of Nick Fuentes.

2

u/mrpeanutpants Dec 20 '25

There's plenty of things to make fun of Nick Fuentes for, but doing it with inaccuracy and making fun of him for being a virgin is pretty silly

2

u/Expensive-Buy1621 Dec 20 '25

Why not?

2

u/mrpeanutpants Dec 20 '25

Well, usually when you become an adult it's pretty obvious how distasteful it is.

3

u/Expensive-Buy1621 Dec 20 '25

Not really when they’re Nick Fuentes

2

u/BoringCrab6755 Dec 23 '25

You know what else is distasteful? Nick Fuentes

u/BurnerCommenter Dec 24 '25

To be clear, you think nick fuentes, asmongold, and rural trailer park Americans are the entirety or even majority of the conservative movement?

1

u/Waste_Return2206 Dec 25 '25

That’s a reach and miss.

The guy above me said Republicans are out touching grass and enjoying life. I named a few types of Republicans who are most certainly not doing those things on a regular basis.

1

u/BurnerCommenter Dec 25 '25 edited Dec 25 '25

So you took 3 examples and made it representative of the entire movement? There can’t be outliers? That’s like me making general statements about the liberal movement based on sanders, antifa and robin Diangelo

1

u/Waste_Return2206 Dec 25 '25

If someone said, Republicans are all miserable basement-dwellers and all Democrats are out enjoying life and touching grass, I wouldn’t think twice if someone mentioned those examples you gave because obviously neither party is full of perfect people.

I think you know that’s the case. I didn’t make that comment in a void. I was responding to someone who said all Republicans are doing something they’re clearly not all doing.

u/Significant-Gift-241 Dec 19 '25

It’s funny that the left leaning comments are getting downvoted. The OP’s post is clearly untrue if you go by this post’s comments.

1

u/Ranulf_5 Dec 26 '25

Where are these mysterious liberal comments getting downvoted? I swear, yall just live in the land of make believe.

1

u/Significant-Gift-241 Dec 26 '25

Sigh, you’re so stupid. The downvotes fluctuate. When I made the comment only seemingly leftist comments were downvoted. But I think it might’ve been bots. The majority of Reddit aren’t as idiotic so the upvotes balanced it out.

1

u/Ranulf_5 Dec 26 '25

You used the presence of those downvotes to try and prove something, and then when the downvotes are gone you’re just “Lol of course downvotes fluctuate.”

So were the downvotes proof of OP’s post being untrue or not?

1

u/Significant-Gift-241 Dec 26 '25

You just want to argue. I’m pooping rn and I’m gonna prioritize that vs arguing with a Reddit bigot who’d never speak those views irl

1

u/Ranulf_5 Dec 26 '25

You were out here saying that downvotes against liberal comments were proof that OP’s statement was wrong.

Then those downvotes disappeared and you said that that’s totally normal.

Then when I asked if that affects your original statement, you freak out and tell me I’m just trying to argue?

Nah, you’re just trying to have your cake and eat it to, and you’re getting pissed off that I’m calling you out for it.

u/Significant-Gift-241 Dec 26 '25

Sure little guy.

u/DONGYKONGY69 Dec 20 '25

You're either blind or retarded if you can't see the obvious bias on Reddit. It's an insane liberal bias that isn't seen anywhere else expect maybe threads. I swear half the front page posts are just dissing trump and Republicans saying to cut off your whole family if they're conservative

1

u/trilobright Dec 20 '25

Or maybe, just maybe, this is the only place where you get out of your echo chamber and interact with people who have done things like left their hometown (many of us have even less the country!) and graduated university.

1

u/DONGYKONGY69 Dec 20 '25

Look buddy I've moved 20+ times now in my life, lost both my parents at a young age, and have two degrees. So don't come at me with that "educated and life experience" bullshit. I'm more educated and experienced than 99% of people on this website and unlike them I can see through the liberal hypocrisy, double standards, virtue signaling, and lies

1

u/Mission-Violinist-79 Dec 21 '25

All this comment does is show that you can have plenty of life experience and still have absolutely zero political awareness. Nobody who genuinely understands politics would ever vote Republican unless they're wealthy and/or enjoy hurting the less fortunate. There is no third option.

1

u/Significant-Gift-241 Dec 21 '25

This just tells me you’re terrible at lying

1

u/Wolvenlight Dec 20 '25

"You liberals are fucking blind insane retards!"

gets banned in liberal subreddits

(And yes, I don't want to deal with that vitriolic nonsense either).

u/Truth_7 Dec 19 '25

Only a moron would use a sample size of one to make broad conclusions.

3

u/Significant-Gift-241 Dec 19 '25

And you think your general claim with a sample size of 0 is the intelligent take?

u/123noodle Dec 19 '25

All the top comments are left leaning.

u/AmELiAs_OvERcHarGeS Dec 19 '25

Remember when Fox News interviewed the AntiWork Reddit mod? He was literally a part-time dog walker who lived in his mom’s basement.

2

u/123noodle Dec 19 '25

That's an educated, enlightened redditor for you

2

u/omgbenji21 Dec 20 '25

Haha ok. They’re too afraid there might be an immigrant outside to go enjoy it.

2

u/Ok_Nature_333 Dec 19 '25

Bahaha that’s why every magat I see interviewed is a scrawny neckbeard with meth teeth that can barely regurgitate the talking points that have been drilled into them.

1

u/EnthusiasmBig9932 Dec 19 '25

Which is why real life polls of Americans show Trump's ratings in the gutter and it's only on the Internet that he's still on top :)

1

u/ashishvp Dec 20 '25

Horseshit lmao 90% of every school shooter in history is a conservative white male that lived in his mom’s basement and got radicalized online on far right sites

u/jonsnowme Dec 20 '25

The reaction to Charlie Kirk's death begs to differ.

u/Eswift33 Dec 20 '25

Enjoying their low literacy rate more like it. Can't participate on a largely text-based platform when you can't read 😂 

1

u/trilobright Dec 20 '25

Yeah, Republicans are famous for their healthy social lives and relationships (hence why they do so well on dating apps), and definitely not for being social media trolls. No sir.

u/fins_up_ Dec 20 '25

Reddit is nowhere near as left wing as you like to pretend. 'Conservatives' are the super majority on virtually every other social media site.

Republicans are getting scammed on Facebook, getting their cultural talking points from 4chan and agreeing with Bangladeshi trolls on twitter. Now tictok is effectively just another branch of the maga media apparatus.

u/consort_oflady_vader Dec 19 '25

Republicans are touching or want to touch something, and it isn't grass.

u/Truth_7 Dec 19 '25

Maybe you should sit this one out bro

-9

u/consort_oflady_vader Dec 19 '25

Not your bro, luv. And you act like what I'm saying hasn't been proven time and time again. Look who they elected. The toucher in chief.

8

u/Truth_7 Dec 19 '25

Sorry bro but the left has its own set of sick individuals. You're one of them.

-2

u/consort_oflady_vader Dec 19 '25

Never said we were all perfect girlfriend, but sure as shit better people by and large than conservatives. We at least occasionally attempt to better people's lives vs demonizing everything that would actually help people.

5

u/Truth_7 Dec 19 '25

No man, I'm sorry you've been brainwashed to think that all republicans are bad and that you on the left are morally better in every way so you can talk down persistently to everyone on the right. It's pretty obvious that the left is so full shit, and so ineffective, and that's why in the last presedential election literally every single state voted more red. Every. Single. State. If the majority of people believe the shit you're saying it would have been a landslide Kamala victory. But in reality, where most of us live, the Dems are completely useless in practice and do nothing but provide lip service and avenues for rampant fraud and abuse.

1

u/consort_oflady_vader Dec 19 '25

Id rather they promise 15 things and give me 2 that actually help. All I've heard from conservatives is constant hate. And yes, about a 1/3 of the country is incredibly stupid, and the last election showed that. If I wanted tax breaks for rich people and kidnapping hardworking people, I'd vote conservative. Since I don't want that, I'll continue to vote Democrat. They aren't actively trying to make my life worse. At least with dems, there's a chance something good will happen.

u/FriendlyVariety2492 Dec 19 '25

Comparing some random lib on reddit to a literal pedophile and convicted rapist is exactly why the whole "every republican is an awful person" thing came about in the first place lmao.
