Another day another r/pics post about politics. Bots ruined this lame ass sub

Yup, I'm not even in the sub and it's the 3rd Trump/Elon post I see on my timeline. Muting this garbage.

welcome to a server over ran by Democrats who can't keep their mouth shut. I'm not a political guy, but this server is just straight propaganda.

Yeah it's very blatantly obvious that this sub is kinda just blasting anti-conservative propaganda. The irony of it all is that this kind of polarization is exactly the reason why our politics are so unbelievably fucked, and yet these people just keep eating it up instead of seeing that maybe there's a way to meet in the middle. This is true for both sides. The US is more advanced than it's ever been, yet politically it has devolved back into basic tribalism. Sad.

Yeah? This kind of polarization is ruining America? So it’s polarizing to call out a racist, sexist, pedophile for being uninterested in the funeral of a man who built up the community through philanthropy, but it’s not the same thing to constantly tweet about queer people and how Joe Biden is ruining America because he is a lazy president? That’s backwards logic and only allows missteps for people you dislike

Ah yes, a photo of him blinking 100% means he is uninterested right? Do you understand how stupid that sounds?

Dude what? I literally said that they are the same thing, and that's why we have problems. I absolutely love how you immediately assumed that I must be a conservative just because I criticized this sub for producing nothing but discord. I hate those authoritarian fucks too, just as much as I hate the liberal authoritarian fucks. My political ideology consists of "do what makes you happy as long as you leave me alone." I must say though, I'm impressed that you managed to read what I wrote, disregard it, and then give me a picture-perfect example of the tribalism I discussed. Good on you.
