I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

    funny how every time conservatives group up, their communities become so toxic, full of hate and conspiracies, that people have no choice but to cut ties lol

      Woah, woah, there… Telling all the trannies and colored folks to die is their protected free speech rights. How dare you cancel them.

          I have to ask, what do lolis have to do with the rest? I can’t say I’m a fan but I feel like I’ve missed a memo.

      It’s because their political leader at the moment is a populist. They can’t help but be a bunch of cunts. Monkey see money do kind of thing.

        Here’s an unpopular opinion. I saw a lot of the same elements in the Bernie crowd. Not for taking peoples rights or anything illegal like that mind you, but they were very quick to want to ignore the rules during the primary to throw out the choice of the Democratic majority in order to have Bernie win over Hillary. To this day I still hear conspiracy theory talking points about how Bernie really won, or how he was winning the real polls, etc. it’s the same populist rhetoric and it’s dangerous.

          Yeah, but how often did Bernie himself repeat those conspiracy theories? Did he ever try to violently overturn the Democratic primary results? Every popular person has some shitty supporters, so you can’t just judge people based on their supporters.

      Have you seen all the comments on this thread?

      Instead of answering the OPs question, 100+ people are just saying “Well, why are you conservative in the first place? Conservatism is so stupid! People on the right are evil, monsters, etc.”

      This left wing echo chamber is already very hateful and against any differing opinions.

        It’s not “thinking differently” it’s “the beliefs necessary to maintain that political stance are stupid and cruel”.
