    r/Conservative is particularly interesting right now. Moderation can’t keep up with the rate that they’ve been attacking each other for not being ‘true’ conservatives (and these are flaired users: the regulars who have been vetted by the mods). It’s like a litmus test for MAGA’s cohesion

        Definitely. Quite a few are obvious, most are not so obvious because MAGATs sound like broken records anyway; but some are very clearly humans, die hard MAGATs, who are feeling betrayed right now by Trump’s antics and the state of the country. Never thought I’d see the day.

        Either that, or everyone is a bot and nothing is real anymore (also likely?)

        He probably felt Lemmy was too liberal.

        Although as Stephen Colbert pointed out: reality has a liberal bias.

          liberal

          You are the 3rd person to use this word on this page. Each one with a completely different meaning. From “heavily Conservative (US style conservative)” to “lightly socialist”.

          And yet, nobody used it with a “person that don’t want to stop other people doing things that don’t impact them” meaning.
