The biggest thing I remember (this was after they’d left, but what made them sure they’d made the right decision) was how Republicans didn’t want to fund the Ukraine war. Like, they’re not only a democratic state fighting against a brutal dictatorship, which alone is reason to support them, but by supporting them, we’re actively screwing over Russia, which is our biggest enemy right now. The fact the Republicans were actively sympathetic to Putin and the Russian dictatorship was what made them firmly cemented as refusing to support the Republicans.

Yeah, it’s not even “conservative” anymore, it’s “My specific brand of MAGA Christian ideals, with reliable sources being Fox News and One America Network.”

Idk, not as as speedy as my ban from a tankie sub by mentioning Animal Farm. Didn’t even say it was anti-Communist, I said it showed how a good society built on protecting the people can be easily subverted while still claiming to be good. Was autobanned for a week within minutes, then extended to permanent a few days later.

Yeah, a large portion of my family used to be Republican and are still conservative, but they left the Republican party a few years ago because “There’s not even a platform anymore, all they do is oppose anything the progressives support.”

Same thing on a Warhammer 40k sub happened to me, got banned for saying the Tau are a totalitarian racist dictatorship and the Enclaves are the only group I’d consider joining, to which someone responded with “The Enclaves are a military dictatorship!”. I got banned for pointing out they’re also the only faction where a common-born human has rights.

I mean, at least the mods actually explained what you did “wrong”. Most of the time they refuse to respond.
