conservative

I haven't paid much attention but from what I can gather it used to be a 'legitimate' conservative community, where some people posted outrageous bs, think of reddit s r/thedonald sub. A couple of days ago some people noticed that there are no mods anymore in the community, for whatever reason, so the shit posting, cons trolling began and the community all of a sudden bloomed.

I'd reckon there aren't many of them original folks around anymore, thankfully. Just scroll down, it was a very trashy community, celebrating deaths from miscarriages and such.

Yes lol, without mods users will gravitate to the most natural state for a comm

And apparently the most natural state for this comm are parody posts because those are the only posts here with positive upvotes. All the "serious" posts get downvoted to hell LMAO

no mods right now since the community is moving to !chadmctruthstruth@lemmy.world so people are taking the opportunity to make fun of conservatives

It should be a comm for conservatives, and it was. Didn't see many crazy takes there. Plenty I disagreed with, but nothing too batshit. My biggest complaint was articles from shit sources with shit, or no, facts.

What I did see were some posts that deserved discussion, but were downvoted to hell the moment they were birthed. Swear to god there were people monitoring the comm and automatically downvoting everything. Really winning hearts and minds there guys.*

At the least, we should be listening to what "the opposition" has to say instead our opinions on conservative thought being based on politicians and that one crazy aunt. That sort of thinking is how conservatives view liberals. They lock onto the craziest shit they see and say, "See! They're all like that!"

Used to have a conservative friend, used to. He was railing about liberals one day using his wife's friend as an example of typical liberal thought. First off, his wife was a fucking basket case, in no small part due to his treatment of her. She'd latch onto any woman who would befriend her. Second, the woman in question was the most toxic left-winger I've ever heard of IRL. That was his picture of liberals. Hell, I'd vote Trump if we were really like that!

* Best friend used to be a conservative Southern Baptist. Through years of arguing, in good faith, and kicking politics and religion around, he ended up a left-moderate atheist. I single-handedly changed his view on homosexuality being a choice. But please, do go one drowning out their voices, pushing them into toxic echo chambers. Hows that working out BTW?
