the people there are less obnoxious than /r/the_donald (the sub that got banned) but jeez, they display the same ignorance and denail as a typical Trump supporter. The amount of tunnel vision and lack of critical thinking displayed on their part.

Like take this post reporting on how FOX news seems to be no longer Republican-supportive.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/jr86aa/fox_news_cuts_away_from_kayleigh_mcenany_press/

The redditors got pissed about it but no one actually dared explain how there's no evidence of voter fraud. Instead they'd rather talk about everything else but the topic itself.

Some quotes:

What. Is. Happening in our country? The amount of brazen informationeering is getting really scary. This is legit Orwellian stuff...
Ive never ever believed a single conspiracy theory...but this is really starting to look conspiratorial on a vast scale...

Can talk about Russian collusion for 4 years, but implying that local government employees and aides in Detroit or Philadelphia are corrupt is too much for me!


Fox will soon realize the reason their ratings have been so good is because they were the only alternative voice to garbage like this
-----
And by then it will be too late because well have moved on to a better network, or turned off cable news altogether.

And I think Reddit is partly to blame for this, with how they purposely segregate the subs. All these conservative subs are completely enclosed and you aren't even allowed to comment in there unless you get approved as a 'conservative'. These people are made and bred to always live within their hiveminds.

Meanwhile at least other subs like /r/politics (yes, even though it's super liberal-leaning) is completely open to anyone to join into any discourse.

If you wanna unite a country, isn't it good to try to reason with the other side?

No that's a bad thing nowadays. Pick a tribe and defend them from your "enemies" at all costs!

Neither side seems to want to try and reason with the other.

Yeah it gets really bad on there, both because of the conformity-encouraging nature of their voting system and because they ban/censor anybody they disagree with.

I joined the conservative subreddit discord a few months ago to watch their discussions now and then. It was fun. But a few days ago they blocked everybody from there unless you can verify that you're conservative with a social network account or prove over time that you're conservative. It's pathetic

I mean

The republican party's position (and the direction of conservatives) has become completely untenable at this point

Consider how trump fans have reacted to things he's done the past four years. Or how they reacted to facts and guides regarding the pandemic and how not to spread it. Even if you try to show them reason they refuse. It's not like people haven't tried to reason with them.

Trump fans don't listen to reason. They even somehow interpreted an actual virus as a hoax by liberals and refused to take precautions :|

I'd say /r/politics is equally as bad, with how the mods ban any conservative opinions there.
It's like everyone just wants to see and hear what they want to see and hear. I mean, it's in human nature, but I think the Internet has really played a role in shaping this hivemind mentality even further.

At least here on Gamefaqs there isn't that stupid upvote system. In fact anyone who posts a controversial opinion on this board will likely get all the attention instead lol due to the 'bump' function.

Republicans refuse fact, you cant reason with them. They need to be disbanded.

I don't like r/politics either but it still isn't as bad as r/conservative.

I don't think there's really a single political subreddit that's actually any good. Maybe there are some smaller ones but IDK

dude they're people. There's only two ways you can disband a whole party.
Either sow discord within the party itself or uh...eliminate them....

edit: the former is actually the best way since the party loses its influence but also malicious.

the last way is unity, by bridging the party into a larger entity. This is unfortunately the hardest. Normally the only unity that happens is when there is a huge common goal in sight, like a threat of war unto the country itself or alien invasion or whatever

Some kind of passive cultural shift would do a lot to change their harmful views while the older ones die off over time.

Media like fox news, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Bill o-reilly are a huge part of what fostered trump's fanbase now. I'm confident that if America's news networks were like the UK's where they are mostly impartial and not so alarmist, Trump would never EVER have been able to get enough support to run.

That's impossible when one side doesn't want to be reasoned with.
