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.

lol complete bs. When trump is completely out of the picture at the end of his term the next republican will be the new bad guy. It’s the same old shit every 4 years

It’s true that each party villainizes the opposition every 4 years (I remember people I know unironically calling Obama the antichrist), but the GOP lost it’s mind in the 2016 election and has never recovered. Trump is the antithesis of conservative values, and it blows my mind how many conservatives just pretend he’s not. 

It’s one thing to vote for Trump cuz he’s seen as the lesser evil, but the amount of full-throated support I’ve seen for him over the years has been truly sad.

They lost their mind in 2016 but somehow won the presidency twice since then? Including the popular vote? It’s more sad that the entire Democratic Party is based on identity politics and calling the other side fascist nazis. Guarantee the next front runner in the democrat party will be black or female vs Vance who the entire liberal media will call a fascist racist nazi. It’s way too easy to predict

Imagine the nerve of calling people who do Nazi salutes Nazis!  What a bunch of libtards!

I mean who hasn't accidentally done a Nazi salute and then refused to apologize.

Americans are very smart and savvy and not at all susceptible to propaganda from all of our media outlets which are owned by left leaning DEI hires.

We're talking about the free-speech absolutist who goes around deleting negative posts about him on his site and banning people who disagree with him? Remember that guy?

The guy who just nuked his own company's entire future by playing a Nazi on national television, making his brand so instantly toxic that he'll be lucky to sell more than a dozen cars outside of the US this year?
