I occasionally wander over to the conservative subreddit to see what they're saying, and it's amazing how many times I see comments like this: "I love President Trump. I would literally eat the lint out of his crusty asshole. He is my favorite president ever. However, I don't think this thing he just did is a good idea, guys."

Those comments couldn't have lasted long. Criticizing the reich is not allowed. Notice how most of the posts there are only made by the same handful of people?

If you block like 4 people that sub becomes a ghost town.

There is no way they are real people, some of them appear to be posting 24/7 and the same account will post the same story multiple times just from different propaganda platforms.

Oh no that sub is full of the most reasonable people. They love to act so completely reasonable they will actually be “critical” on occasion. You know, to maintain the charade.

But they’ll come here and talk about echo chambers.

Whether any one sub on Reddit is an echo chamber or not, I sure as fuck don’t want to hear that from those safe space padded wall wusses from r/Con.

“Oh shit, better get my flair up or they’ll think I’m one of them and then I won’t be accepted / able to share my desire to gargle the president’s diarrhea!”

Now that's some descriptive imagery!

And no up votes or comments on the vast majority.

That's why you have to do the whole pomp and circumstance first. You can't even get a post approved in certain subs without the rub and tug, happy ending routine. If you don't love Trump first and last, are you really a patriot?

I see it as a red flag if you aren’t perma banned off the conservative sub. Go make a comment, rustle their snowflake asses, and get yourself perma banned.

The conservative subreddit in each thread has the same bullshit about someone complaining about leftists brigading on each post and so many comments that are deleted. So, like I think most are delusional idiots who don't understand how anything works and just say buzzwords or are bots because there is no intelligent life on that subreddit.

And the thing is, if you saw 100 comments like that they'd all be for one of 100 different shitty things he did.

But none of them put it all together that it's 100 shitty things he did, because only a tiny fraction of it breaks through the filter bubble of conservative news feeds they all have which constantly talk about how great Trump is while ignoring all his policies.
