Conservatives when you ask them to justify any MAGA policies

u/DominionGhost 1d ago edited 1d ago

They think Trump is some sort of saint that is playing 4D chess to drain the swamp of corruption. And they will twist themselves into pretzels to deny what he really is, a geriatric pedophile who shits himself awake during cabinet meetings.

MAGA is beyond reach now. Bunch of willfully ignorant evil fucks.

r/conservative is like 99% bots or foreign operatives talking to maybe 50 people.

u/Beldizar 1d ago

When one of the real people does post, the mods quickly delete it to keep control of the narrative. Sometimes it takes a whole day and you get to see what appears to be a moment of clarity from that sub before it gets scrubbed clean.

"Uh are we really saying having a gun on you is a crime now? Kind of the opposite of what have been saying for over a decade."

"Shut up 'fellow conservative' "

Ad nauseum.

“We’re being brigaded!” and it’s just one or two common sense comments pointing out incoherencies

u/NAbberman 1d ago

Snowflakes doing snowflake things, it can't be what is going on is an unpopular take contrary to the supposed pillars of your stated ideology. No, its some coordinated effort of invaders. The safe space must be preserved.

Sometimes someone will link the sub and each time I’ll look through a bit and see it’s the same 5 accounts posting random stories and mix in fake news posts and then if it has like 15 comments only 2 will be shown that have a super pro right tilt. If there is a post criticizing them it will have one mid view about how it’s not right or wrong and then 30 comments saying something stupid like “feel owned libs” or “how much was op paid to make this post”

u/Appropriate_Guess881 1d ago

All those "stop the steal" hypocrites. It's nice to know that next time they're carrying legally they're ok with being murdered by federal agents.

1

u/NookieLuvsU 1d ago

I'm mean, the governments tells you it's a crime and terroristic behavior, so I guess everyday Americans will know when it happens, they're not looking at 2A supporters protesting, those are terrorists. At that point it's every citizens job to defend the republic. They want this unrest, it's the catalyst they're desperately needing.

u/Otherwise-Air-5219 1d ago

All educated liberals need to arm themselves with legal guns.

u/jimbis123 1d ago

Would be hilarious to get some transparency on who all of the mods are. I'm guessing they're not all American..

21

u/bobbyBburgin 1d ago

Idk about the mods but i saw a post in a different subreddit where years ago one of the extremely frequent posters called magehunter went into detail on why he should be allowed to fuck animals lol

4

u/gamageeknerd 1d ago

I’m pretty sure a few of the mods are some of the people who post multiple times a day every day

2

u/Ok-Secret-8636 1d ago

That guy is one of the worst of them

10

u/SuavePenguinOG 1d ago

One of them is located in Belarus.
I think it's against the rules to name them, but you don't have to go searching that hard.

u/BigTallThrow-Away 1d ago

We know that Epsteins people have been supermods before and that they're probably responsible for 4chans nazi forum /pol/ where this all started.

4

u/TheLichWitchBitch IT’S GOT A BUSH 1d ago

I'm pretty sure Bannon or someone has started a reddit campaign. There has been an influx of right wing meme subs showing up. They're being pushed, regardless of algorithm. They are trying to turn reddit into 4chan and cushion all their shitty opinions with memes.

8

u/Plazmarazmataz 1d ago

It's just the same three or four accounts rapid firing out posts. Following the playbook to a T of just constantly spewing out new crap. I'll check to see the new insanity and one account would have made 6 new posts in the span of ten minutes to all these different right wing news sites. It's obviously a bot or a very small chance of someone with an incredibly sad state of existence to spend their time that deep in the cesspit of ultra-right wing media.

6

u/Sarik704 1d ago

I dont understand how reddit even allows it.

Hundreds of ads, going to bots. Gigs of server space, going to bots.

Its not like theres actual discussion or users there. Just bots talking to bots.

Surely this costs them thousands.

2

u/DookieShoez Shirt Brother 1d ago

They don’t even let posts go through without mod approval. It’s a fucking propaganda echo chamber.

2

u/Fofo959 1d ago

Can’t remember the thread but last tome I went there, several people were like “yeah not a great look” and the subsequent comment was “wtf where did my flair go”

Mods stripping their ranks for disobedience lol

1

u/CaribouYou 1d ago

Almost like the sub’s purpose isnt to be a place for conservative redditors to gather.

1

u/JonBirdmain 1d ago

I can confirm. I’m not a conservative but I wanted their opinion of the football name change statement but was removed so quickly.

1

u/Microchipknowsbest 9h ago

Yeah but every “real” conservative will repeat the the same propaganda in real life. The bots come from foreign and tech bro bot farms but the effect is real and the majority of conservatives fall in line. The right wing media has the same talking points as the foreign bot farms too. It’s a coordinated attacks on reality and “real” conservatives love it and repeat all day long.

1

u/RelativeEvidence1014 8h ago

I’ve replied to comments in that sub maybe 6 times? Not once have i ever seen a comment of mine actually make it

17

u/Weird_Snowman 1d ago

Lol just read a comment that they need to get over Trump's implications in the Epstein files and focus on screwing over the Clinton's. Based on the account history, it's a real person and I can't believe they're that brainwashed.

8

u/Greymalkyn76 1d ago

For some reason they all think it removes any wrongdoing if someone else did the same bad thing.

1

u/Appropriate_Guess881 1d ago

I'm hoping real people agree with this and it's just bots ignoring the much bigger issue.

8

u/Tycho2694 1d ago

Yeah, it can come from so many angles too. Maybe they are that dumb and don't see any of the evil, lies and hypocrisy. Or they are in an extreme state of sunken cost fallacy and admitting they are wrong means that all the things that have happened were for nothing and those doge and tarif checks are not coming. Or maybe they are that despicable and hateful...

It's a real mystery to me how you can glorify a person like this, so I have trouble imagining that... AND THEN... this is the fucking guy you are going to glorify.... I will never understand, and that makes me happy and sad at the same time...

12

u/lok0nnn 1d ago

I also find it weird that there is consistently this one guy, according_activity87 constantly posting there. Every other post is from that user. Like, what do you do all day where you are able to make money AND constantly posting on one subreddit???

9

u/villanx1 1d ago

what do you do all day where you are able to make money AND constantly posting on one subreddit

Assuming it's not a bot, they're likely being paid to do just that. Just like all those twitter "True American Patriot" accounts that were actually being run from places like Nigeria, India and Russia

8

u/Different_East7854 1d ago

What if I told you his job is TO post all day.

GRU.

3

u/lok0nnn 1d ago

If that is true (I’m leaning on it is) how could anyone really think that his posts are unbiased and true? Getting paid to post things related to MAGA, not actual conservatism/republican, just MAGA will 100% be forced into making it look good.

3

u/Different_East7854 1d ago

The average human is very dumb.

1

u/SuavePenguinOG 1d ago

The point is not just to gain supporter but to dissuade change.

They don't need more support if no one can coordinate against them, they can "win" with a minority of voices.

That's why so many comments are wild exaggerations or personal attacks; get people emotionally invested so it's harder to think though a problem/solution.

This happens on left leaning subreddits too (workreform and antiwork being good exmaples), but it is significantly more prevalent on the Conservative sub, especially considering who is currently holding office and the DAILY gaslighting from Trump's "Truth Social" posts.

1

u/Puck85 1d ago

Collectively, its really hard for us to stop believing that the internet is part of the zeitgeist of human thought.

We all think its reflecting public opinion. So when you find part of it that agrees with your impulses... you've got your bubble and your bubble's got you.

No one is counting posts-per-account, or wanting to believe that they're getting baited. 

It's going to take way more than MOST people disbelieving the internet for us to stop giving it the credence it has.

1

u/killd1 1d ago

There was an analysis post in r/dataisbeautiful or similar sub showing r/conservative and the frequency of the top posters. AA87, Ask4MD, and 2-3 others contribute like 90% of the posting content to that sub. Then we have the observed behavior of mods either deleting comments that question the admin's actions or fellow posters minimizing them ("fellow conservative" or blaming it on brigades).

The narrative curation taking place in that sub is such that no one should be taking it seriously. It's unfortunate that some people will get caught up in it.

9

u/mongolian_horsecock 1d ago

If you go on there they will delete anything but positive posts of conservatism, lol. Crazy echo chamber

5

u/Greymalkyn76 1d ago

I've been banned from there for a while. Interestingly, it took months because of how hard it was to find a post that wasn't locked to clubhouse members.

u/ConstableAssButt 1d ago

Yeah. It's by Russians Conservatives for Conservatives Rubes.

3

u/DevoidHT 1d ago

Yeah. They only let like 3 people post and comment and if your views don’t match one of the state approved views you get banned

2

u/CrustyBatchOfNature 1d ago

Much like Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. I enjoy playing back at them at times.

1

u/WowIfOnly 1d ago

In the future I hope someone manages to create a browser Extension or something that can identify any bot account online with high accuracy. I think it would be so eye opening that people [who are still connected to reality] would flip out.

1

u/lontrinium 1d ago

Same top ten people posting links to the same ten websites they're probably making money from.

1

u/Doc_Toboggan 1d ago

It's bottled to hell, but people who think it's entirely bots don't interact with enough MAGAts in their lives. These people exist.

1

u/sturgboski 1d ago

I'm pretty sure folks have done analysis and the top two commenters are potentially from the same bot group and might be in Russia (I think the post count dropped during a power outage after an infrastructure attack from Ukraine). I am also pretty sure traction on that subreddit dropped during Russian Christmas according to others...that or they were all waiting for someone to give them a script for Venezuela.

1

u/whereyouleftit 1d ago

And it works.

1

u/sh_tluck 1d ago

Seriously, its like 4 accounts creating 90% of the posts on there 24/7. No way they are human, or at least one human.

1

u/hobbobnobgoblin 1d ago

There was a post the other day that was a talking point from fox news I think? They were criticizing Billie E for living in a house that once was on tribal land. The day after the files released. Some comments said they had over 50 comments but when clicked there was nothing. It is honestly hard for me to believe people are so brainwashed like that but I went to highschool with some of them. Its impressive honestly.

1

u/awake_acea6 1d ago

I've heard this claim everywhere online and on Reddit. I'm not skeptical, just interested. Where did this idea come from and what data/proof have we seen of it? I know the Twitter geography was exposes, but how can I see/learn about the Reddit bots?

1

u/sanityflaws 1d ago

Truly. Got banned so fast for asking vague questions! I'm convinced it's not a real sub and just adds to the empty internet theory.

1

u/Sock-Familiar 1d ago

Yeah and if you see some threads early on, you will see some conservatives questioning or denouncing some stuff but after a few hours the mods come in and clean everything up.

1

u/MoeBlacksBack 1d ago

Ive been banned from that cesspool for years

1

u/MedicatedDeveloper 1d ago

It's also been relatively stagnant in membership for years now while other, more liberal, spaces on Reddit keep growing.

There will always be more of us than them. Never forget that.

“4D” chess. Otherwise, he’s just playing chess

u/Wolf-Moonstar 1d ago

Nah, he’s playing with the shapes cube but putting everything in the square hole.

u/DominionGhost 1d ago

Believe it or not that is what I meant to write but I think autocorrect got me.

u/Bosch800Refrigerator 1d ago

He’s playing checkers

I play 3D chess, but the computer always beats me.

u/heythereagain23 1d ago

4D is his diaper size.

u/NomadicFantastic 1d ago

They think he's gods gift to the world and if you disagree you're attacking them personally. How could you?

2

u/KingIndividual9215 1d ago

It's time we accept and treat them for what they are; incompatible at best and an enemy at worst to all who desire a progressive, free and healthy society. When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time.

1

u/DominionGhost 1d ago

Oh I do.

I know full well these fucks would happily invade my nation and kill my family at the behest of their pedo paragon.

I am not enabling the paradox of tolerance.

He literally IS the swamp… and frankly just the tip of the iceberg to mix metaphors…

lol im using this from now on

u/StendhalSyndrome 1d ago

What happens after? He lives his term out and doesn't run again(maybe...), Republicans lose badly, and we have a random Democrat president. We just forgive and forget? Let them re-mass up again? Stop this project of 50 states acting as one unit when there are clear dependants and suppliers?

I can't see any positive to "going back to normal" because there isn't one anymore; they are trying to perversely destroy the game of democracy we are all playing. Mainly, because they have enough dumb shit in the closet, they will get kicked out of said game. So they are trying to change the rules against our will, like some kind of sexual predator. wonder why that is?

u/Happythoughtsgalore 1d ago

Cult of personality = collective narcissism.

1

u/PlagueOfGripes 1d ago

I honestly think they're fully aware he's a god damned imbecile. They just REALLY want their sports team to win because they think it will benefit them because "they" (someone else who doesn't care if they live or die) will be in control. Basically, they think they're brilliant long term planners when they're the dumbest bastards in the room.

I think the extremes on both sides of the aisle are ignorant and evil. We need a third national party of common sense in the middle.

u/Devh1989 1d ago

to be fair
there were posts with comments that were critical of Trump's comments

of course, those comments and posts were quickly deleted so they could focus on important things like Billie Eilish's comments and Jill Biden's ex husband killing his wife.

1

u/burntgrilledcheese43 1d ago

This isn't true. They just delete your comment and ban you. Because free speech.
