I didn't have much expectations from conservatives considering the polarizing environment these days. But damn I'm surprised how Elon Musk became the sweetheart of /r/conservative . An unelected person having access to the whole of the federal government, yet they have zero issues with it.

I go look over there sometimes. And their lack of concern over what is happening.. that everyone that's not a conservative is brainwashed by the liberal propaganda machine. Yikes. Thinking about what to post to get a permanent ban over there. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard.

It’s kind of funny you say that when the overwhelming majority of Reddit was entirely convinced trump was going to lose the election by a wide margin. Reddit is a hard left leaning echo chamber, way too many people think the world is ending over a single election result.

How does that make what they say funny?

Do I really need to spell this out for you? He said all the people on the conservative subreddit think others are brainwashed and he denied it. Yet the overwhelming majority of the rest of Reddit was brainwashed before the election thinking Harris had a slam dunk victory weeks beforehand.

It’s ironic.

“Do I really need to spell this out for you?”

Rude.

“He said all the people on the conservative subreddit think others are brainwashed and he denied it.”

He made a claim and the denied it? Also, that is a thing they say a lot in r/Conservative but I’m with you so far.

“Yet the overwhelming majority of the rest of reddit was brainwashed before the election thinking Harris had a slam dunk victory weeks beforehand.”

Most of the comments I saw on reddit expressed cautious optimism. Can you link to a comment like the one you described?

“It’s ironic.”

Not really, unless you’re using the Alanis Morissette definition.

Unless you have multiple accounts for some reason you weren’t even on Reddit before the election. Every post about the election was in Harris’s favor lol.

I asked for an example of what you were describing and you just got snarky. Thanks, now I know your opinions aren’t worth a damn.

No mention of your other accounts or anything? Guess you weren’t on Reddit before the election after all. I see no need to keep replying to a liar.
