I don’t read r/conservative much but what I’ve seen is they keep banning actual conservatives because they correctly call out what Trump is doing on things where it’s not about left and right but right and wrong.

Some people are saying that it could be coincidental. OP asks why would the two accounts who post so regularly just happen to both stop at the same time on that day.

    Removing the conservatives who dissent might backfire on them bc they might end up thinking they’re not considered “conservative” anymore and find other ppl to hang out with. And the reddit shillbot page will just be talking to itself. One can hope

    Conservatives need brand new online communities that do not push them farther into the brain rot. Seriously are there any good online communities for them still around?

      American conservativism is already inherently contradictory. Conservativism as a political movement emerged in Europe in response to the emergence of liberalism. Liberalism is anti-monarchy. Conservatism is pro-monarchy. US conservativism is anti-monarchy, pro-market, pro-private property - all of these positions are liberal positions. American conservativism is liberalism.

      So to adopt the label of conservative in America you already have to be ignorant of political philosophy, history, and the meaning of words that you use on a daily basis, and you have to be living out a full contradiction of political views. Or you have to be in the grifter elite that does understand this and use it as a way to fleece people.

      The people who stay in the American conversative are under such psychology strain from the cognitive dissonance that they absolutely have to have purity tests to keep any challenge to their narratives out of their zones.

        The meaning of words change over time. Conservative, in the American political context, has nothing to do with Monarchy. You are being pointlessly pedantic

    Virtually every major outlet for the right wing is, in some way shape or form, controlled by fascist foreign actors. Especially Russia.

    All the dumb-fuck faux leftists supporting Russia over Ukraine, claiming Ukraine has a major Nazi problem, need to open their fucking eyes and see Russia is the biggest exporter of Nazism world wide.

      the best part of all of it…is the reveal twitter had a couple weeks ago, where they put access location and registration location as publicly visible…for all of 5 minutes, revealing the fact that most big head conservative twitter accounts are foreign controlled psyop/propaganda outlets.

      Crazy how the right wing just absolutely ignores that 98% of all the big totally patriotic american twitter accounts telling them what to do and how to feel come from russia, belarus, etc etc.
