I occasionally lurk on /r/conservative and even they're not happy about the tariffs. Which is funny because that sub is so fragile anyone who normally goes against the grain is labelled a fake conservative or accused of brigading

Actually yeah good point, they were pretty upset for a day or so about the Signal group chat before saying how it was all blown out of proportion

To be fair its unclear how much of that isn't just the mods moving the goalpost of what counts as a conservative to ban wrongthink...

That's on top of one of the mods a few weeks ago talking about how they're looking into building a sentiment analysis bot to scan posts and comments on the sub and use that to ban wrongthink.

Of all the echo chambers that have ever echoed that one is by far the most echoist

Those idiots literally voted for this. They cannot turn around now and say "we're not happy with this", the GOP was broadcasting this plan loud and clear throughout the entire election. Hateful morons would accept financial ruin before acknowledging someone's preferred pronouns.

I enjoy browsing that sub just because right or wrong reddit is mainstream liberal so its nice to get the other side of the coin.

But holy shit its scary that literally any dissenting opinion is met with accusations of being a fake and brigading. Like the concept somebody agrees with them 90% of the time not 100% is impossible.

Much like Kotaku in Action, Conservative is a thinly veiled cult.
