There were definitely some very toxic leftists there. Generally the ones generalizing all GOP/conservative voters as sociopaths, motivated solely by spite, or motivated solely by "PWN the libz" Or that conservatism is a mental disorder, which gets into pretty scary territory. There were also 2-3 leftist posters who accused damn near everyone of being conservative or supporting the GOP at one point or another.
Bear in mind of course that there were also some shitposters there pretending to be liberal, such as Orca and Tony Kojima.

There were also a few who stated that they shun family members who are/vote conservative.

Back in the day, I would ahve agreed with you. But now, for the most part I agree with the above statement about conservatives voting out of spite and hate. I have a cousin who has voted Democrat his entire life and is usually on the democratic side. But he dislikes trans and thinks they shouldn't exist, so even though he is anti religious, he rather side with them then vote for people that support trans people. Every conservative I talk to is also a closeted racist or drinks from the trump Kool aid. Conservatism is terrible.

I am sure they shunned the family members cause they started spouting hate speech and repeated evil talking points that the GOP and right wing media told people. It's not simply because they are conservative, it's the actions they do based on conservative view points.
