This is one sample visit to the conservative subreddit. It's an appalling example of the impact of disinformation. When you need to be reminded of who the enemy is and what they think, visit here. You will see that there is no gratitude or mutual respect, and there never was. There was never any concept of mutual benefit. And now, with Trump leading the cult, there truly is no depth to which they won't go, and no decisions from Trump that won't be retroactively justified.

These people are dangerous, and they don't give a shit about any alliances, friendship or partnership. And they control the levers of power.

Edit to add a screenshot. Not sure how to add more, but it doesn't get any better as you go deeper. What's clear is that this relationship is over, and we need to move on.

Pedo-Donald will try to annex Canada. For the first time of my life I'm considering getting a gun. We cannot trust conservatives anymore. Poilievre and mostly Ford are just playing the though guy card now to negociate a position, mark my words. Be prepare to fight.

I saw someone on Facebook today talking about the orange rapist's claim that the US subsidizes us. Um, no.

Eww, that's some level10 spinjutsu.

The only 1% these guys can be in is 1% posters on the conservative subreddit.

Doubling down on tribalism won't save us from their ignorance. The degradation of a unified society by means of Us vs. Them thinking is how we got here in the first place and how things continue to get worse.

There are those at the fringes of that style of thinking that can be reached by those of us who are adjacent to them (via family, mutual friends, workplaces, etc.). Those folks at the fringes can reach those adjacent to them. We'll never get 100% of them on side but we can at least weaken the well-funded machine that continues to keep them uninformed by relating to people as human beings instead of stoking division like oligarchs intend for us to do.

LOL! Then you have the Putin Bots and Xi's $0.50 Army mixing in with the f'ed up MAGAts.

Personally, I automatically hate anyone that describes themselves as conservative, but you have to know that r/Conservative is not a very good representation of the entire group. It's EXTREME and one of the most blatant echo chambers I've ever witnessed; any dissent will earn you a ban from that sub.

Time to print a bunch of 'i did that' stickers with Trump's face and put them on US gas pumps.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

It's like abusing a significant other and saying it's your fault that they had to do it.

Added one. Couldn't see how to add more. I can appreciate that no one wants to give them traffic. It doesn't really matter because commenting there is highly restricted even if you have a reddit account in good standing. And the entire subreddit is incredibly fragile - you'll get permabanned for putting up anything that counters the tsunami of horseshit.

[–] Tm12@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 days ago

Appreciate it. Nice to see the downvotes.

The U.S. is Bizarro World.

All of these comments are severely downvoted. What are you every saying here? That one incredibly unpopular opinion represents them all?

Don't get me wrong, fuck them all. But this is such a stupid argument for your hate.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

That happens when r/conservative gets to the front page where they are pant’ed/ brigaded.

They do not reach those numbers on their own, and the most heinous shit is defended by the mods with the same voracity as Reagan
