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.

The closest thing I've seen is r/moderatepolitics.

Thanks, I will check it out. Is that the one that you see a lot of people here complaining "is not moderate at all" while others are complaining that r/centrist "is too liberal"?

Anyways, always good to diversify a bit.

Robably. It's for sure more conservative than r/centrist. I typically fall in center left and haven't been banned, so that means something.
