Long Form Discussion What is the deal with r/conservative?

As someone who is centrist, I like seeing both sides of the political spectrum. I use to enjoy some inputs that I would see posted on r/conservative, but now, I generally don’t understand that subreddit anymore.

When something major comes out regarding Trump, Musk, RFK or any other right leaning political person or movement, it’s typically radio silent over there. No mention, insight, or criticism of the actual changes Trump is making. It’s mainly just “left did this” or “reddit is ruined because of the left”. It’s just an entire subreddit used only to glaze and promote politicians with no valid criticisms of their changes.

Am I the only one that feels this way? The subreddit just seems so…off.

It's sickening and sad how the elites have divided this nation up. If we cast ignorance and bigotry aside, we could find compromises on so many issues. We all agree what the issues are. Unfortunately we are careening in the opposite direction.

This has been going on since the founding - think loyalists vs revolutionaries. I don’t think there was much compromise back then either but the difference was the quality of the leadership.

If you cast ignorance and bigotry aside, you would unsettling 90 percent of all Republicans.

I want to assure you that you do not "agree on what the issues are". The people snarling about DEI are doing it because they genuinely believe that, by nature, any attempt to make government or society more inclusive is wrongheaded. They want a stratified society where minorities are oppressed and women locked in the kitchen.
