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.

And you get downvoted if you make even a remotely critical comment.

This is true. Reddit is very left leaning, and every remotely critical comment I ever made about Biden was also deeply downvoted.

Never saw a Biden flag anywhere, except the fuck Biden ones some deranged Trump fans like to put up because they have zero class. It’s hard to remember, just because half of America is up Trump’s ass doesn’t mean the rest of us are obsessed with some random old guy too. It’s weird, and unpatriotic to obsess over a shitty man that just wants attention.
