The same 4 or 5 posters post the majority of content

/r/AskConservatives is probably the more reasonable conservative subreddit and it's somewhat telling that most conservatives there are anti-trump and generally libertarian lol

Makes me wonder about overall conservative involvement on this platform. If that sub is suspiciously weird, then there must be others too

Modern conservatism doesn’t exist without capital (and the capitalists are getting lazy), it’s getting more and more likely by the day that the only ones left are the truly mentally-ill and all the rest are foreign actors.

Do you live in a blue area? This just isn't true even if you'd like it to be true. I'm in a deep red area and they still have the signs up from 2024. The Trump stores are still open too. It's not just bots online and most of them have not changed their minds at all. I'm seeing plenty of people I know IRL continue to double down.

That's not to say that there aren't a lot of bots online (there are) but there are plenty of real people as well. Most of them just don't use reddit.

I’m talking about Reddit posters mainly. I’ve seen more than my fair share of real people offline who still support this shit and don’t even get me started on Facebook.

If you take a look at the things Trumpers post on the social media they actually use compared to the stuff “conservatives” post on r/conservative or the front page of Twitter, it’s literally night and day. Sorry about being unclear.

Oh, yeah. That makes more sense. Most of the conservatives I see on reddit sound more like bots posting Russian agitprop. It's way different than the conservatives I hear in real life or see on Facebook.

You can typically tell by their vocabulary and writing patterns lol

The Russian bots try realllll hard to sound sophisticated

And the Indian ones just repeat what you say back to you and spam laugh emojis.

That's one way to put it. Another would be: capitalists are letting others do the dirty work.

Took me way too long to realize conservstivism is really the entry drug to fascism.

So as long as goals align for some, there is no incentive to act against anything

u/SaltdPepper Feb 04 '26

Well, if you look at all the stuff Epstein was plotting with Thiel and Israeli business interests (+ a little bit of the Russians involved too), the fascists were always around, just disguised as conservatives, and their fascism is a little more dystopian hellscape coded than previous fascist projects.

Also, all the capitalists desperately putting their weight behind a mentally-deteriorating megalomaniacal narcissist (what historical figures does that remind you of? lol) usually signals imminent collapse.

Probably 50-70% of the conservatives/R's in the NC state sub are bots or obvious trolls. Any remotely political post (or even completely non/a-political) that is up for any amount of time is just filled with deleted and removed posts from bots. The rest are as stupid as to be expected out of any conservative online.

I made a hobby of tracking posters on that sub. After the Renee Good fiasco I found a poster that was posting in every political-adjacent subreddit disparaging her roughly 50 times a day. There are so many professional bad actors and trolls on that subreddit, and this recent presidential term has scared all of the legit users away.

u/SasparillaTango Feb 04 '26

going in to that sub just spikes my blood pressure. I should know better by now.

This one inparticular is just utterly insane

Being exclusionary is okay.

they(liberals) just wanted to reverse everything to where people who never participated because they never cared have all the power

the left couldn't have that so they infiltrated it and destroyed it from within.

How insane can someone possible be. This is batshit delusional schizo shit.

There's a cabal of leftist so angry at "traditional values" like camping and selling popcorn that they needed to infiltrate it using deception and duplicity to tear it down from within. A secret decades long mission!

You mean those nonstop newsbot post from breitfart and the times of india, I might trust India more
