It doesn’t help that 99% of posts or comments that go against Trump are removed or the user is banned. The only posts that make the cut are made by like 10 of the over a million users.
Getting banned from r/conservative was like a rite of passage every time I made a new reddit account.
Always a good trick to post their usual bigoted drivel, wait for it to get enough upvotes to take the spotlight, then edit the post body to go full leftist. Good times.
Lol I remember going into askconservative and trying to ask them about freedom of speech and having to tip toe around trans rights because that was a sensitive subject to them. Imagine that the party of free speech being snowflakes about a subject that if they were true to their words they would not give a fuck about.
Yep. If you dont kiss the orange anus then you are a communist libtard radical left lunatic cuck and get banned.
As soon as they feel economic pain: I didn’t vote for this.
They’re fine with racism. They’re fine with homophobia. But mess with their investments? The whining is going to be historic.
It’s also at least 40% “We’re being brigaded by the liberal elite”
The sub operates in cycles and it’s like clockwork
Trump (or republicans in general) do something outrageously bad.
Sub is in uproar about it.
People start accusing /r/politics of brigading.
About a day later, the sub has it’s marching orders in line and it’s no longer upset about the thing.
About a day after that, nobody on the sub was ever upset about it and everyone agrees it was actually a good thing.
Every. Single. Time.
Yup, that’s it exactly. It’s surreal to see the same thing happening over and over. I check in every now and then to see what they’re talking about and sometimes I really feel like I’m in some alternate reality. Their perception of things is so completely different. They still think Trump has some kind of master plan and that all the tariffs are chess moves to make other countries comply with his demands. They’re also convinced that all the short-term pain will result in long-term prosperity and that the U.S. will be respected again and back to its rightful place as world leader.
And I’m here thinking… are we talking about the same guy? It makes no sense. I don’t understand how they can see/listen to Trump and get this impression.
They weren’t happy with the tariffs at first. Some post were really critical, but now they kind of all got on board and suddenly they all agree with it. It was even worse with the Signal leak thing. At first some of them were so pissed about it. But then suddenly they pivoted to blaming the journalist for not leaving the chat and then they started some argument about semantics, like they weren’t ‘war plans’ they were ‘battle strategies’ as if changing the words actually changed the issues. By the end they all agreed that a mistake might have been made, but they are all loyal to Trump and loyalty is super important.
Surreal.
Still the best explanation that I have seen, from the former Greek finance minister:

Russia bots get their LLM training from that sub.
Dogs deserve better food than that.
I propose a new term… We just need to come up with a way to say “human centipede circle” in only a few syllables.
who is Juche
It’s the North Korean state ideology (wiki):
Juche posits that a country will prosper once it has become self-reliant by achieving political, economic, and military independence.
Taking notes from fucking North Korea.
So glad my entire family voted for a ln obvious lying dictator because egg prices or something.
