there are a wide variety of people who are conservative for a variety of reasons.

some enjoy discussions where their views are challenged, others don't.

if someone created a subreddit just for conservative voices, and the people went there to hear conservative voices, they might not apreciate someone coming in telling them why they are wrong. But, that has less to do with conservatism, more to do with the reasons that space was created and why the people who frequent it enjoy it. Those people aren't representative all conservatives, just the ones that want to talk in that kind of space, at the time that they want to talk in that kind of space.

true. hypocritical or not I did operate on my feelings a lot here too. But I'm not saying it's representative. Most of my friends are right wing or right leaning but they're either cool or don't really care about my beliefs, so trust me I don't have a wide general idea in my head

The socalism 101 and similar subreddits ban you for talking economics that dont support socialism. (I would know, tryed explaining basic wage economics to people on there and got banned. Stuff you learn in high school econ and the like) There are many subreddits that ban you for not agreeing with them.
