This kind of shit was a big motivation for me to leave reddit, and now it's already on Lemmy. Great.

You can have right leaning beliefs and not be a bigot. Hell, I'm not even right leaning but many of my friends and family are. They are not racist, sexist, transphobic.... This kind of post just makes the left look childish.

ETA: you can have conservative views and not vote republican. The republican party is a fucking joke.

I agree, the "holier than thou" attitude is really gross. I was hoping this was going to be less of an echo chamber than Reddit but it's starting to look like it's worse. Let's blow this popsicle stand bro I'm out of here

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, it's worth more than any conservative is.

Also lol that the "fReE SpEeCh" crowd cries a fucking river whenever people use that free speech to tell them they fucking suck.

Free speech is the worst possibly way to defend your opinion. Your basically saying "my opinion is valid because it's not illegal to state my opinion"
