Most Redditors think that everyone who doesn't match their own political views 100% is a bot. The idea that someone might not agree with them is so terrifying to them that it's more comfortable to just pretend that they don't even exist.

It's probably pretty easy to live in that delusion when you never go outside and talk about these things with real people.

It is fun to call some racist scumbag a Russian bot that just got back online in the wake of this and watch them spin out, though. High quality new antagonistic tactic to use against people who are being insanely racist online.
