Fair warning: r/conservative doesn't allow any mention of the Southern Strategy outside of "it's a LIEberal hoax!"

It's also blindingly supportive of Trump despite his apparent rejection of traditional conservative values and vocal condemnation of and from various conservative figures. I just kinda wish there was a conservative sub that also aknowledged the problems with the GOP and Trump.

[–]RicketyPick 124 ポイント125 ポイント  (29子コメント)

Fair warning: no matter what a conservative does, reddit will find something wrong with it.

Little joke: What do you get when you have 5 politically interested people in one room?

7 opposing ideologies.

Edit: spelling.

[–]lets_get_hyyerr 50 ポイント51 ポイント  (26子コメント)

Yup. What I find ironic is that reddit, as primarily left as it is, often talks about how they want a rational political discussion, yet when someone of opposing views approaches them to have said discussion, they are either downvoted into oblivion or told how their ideas are all wrong. Even this will be downvoted but I'm simply stating something that I observe as a voiced independent who tends to avoid political discussions.

I am glad to see r/conservative trend. They mostly keep to themselves. I just hope reddit doesn't express the volatile tendencies it sometimes does.

[–]rhn94 19 ポイント20 ポイント  (12子コメント)

Retarded facebook memes that aren't based in reality and banning of anyone who disagrees, conservitard is a shithole and all the special snowflake conservitards will whine because people point that shit out and scream like social justice warriorz LE LIEBRULZZ SUPRESIN MUH FREEZE PEACH as they ban people from their subreddit for even engaging civil arguments

And then like sad pathetic little bitches complain like 5 year olds everywhere on reddit that /r/politics "censors" things, hypocritical douchebags

I'm sorry reality disagrees with you on a majority of points... wanting to be right doesn't make you right

[–]lets_get_hyyerr 46 ポイント47 ポイント  (4子コメント)

I couldn't even understand about 60% of that comment lol

[–]venicello 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Yeah really.

Here's a translation, after a few rereads:

/r/conservative (referred to here as "conservitards", although there's an I there that doesn't fit into "retard" or "conservative") shares many facebook memes that aren't based in reality. The moderators will ban anybody who disagrees with their opinion (all too common in political subs, sadly). Hypocritically, they will also scream about "social justice warriors" and the "liberals suppressing their free speech" (rendered above as FREEZE PEACH, presumably for comedic effect) while banning those who disagree with them but still wish to engage in polite discussion.

After this, these conservatives complain everywhere on Reddit that /r/politics, which is IIRC one of the more loosely moderated political subs, censors their opinions. This makes them hypocritical douchebags in the eyes of the commenter.

They conclude by stating that reality disagrees with you (i.e. that conservatives are more censor-happy than liberals) and that wanting to be right doesn't make that right.

Hope this helps. For the record, most political subs around here are stupidly toxic, whether they are liberal or conservative. I hang on the liberal ones mostly because I agree with some of the points beneath the toxicity. The only completely non-toxic political sub I've seen is /r/NeutralPolitics, which involves polite, well-sourced debates about a variety of relevant subjects.

[–]swagtastic_anarchist 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

/r/Nuetralpolitics is such a great subreddit.

[–]AJLighty 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

There is an i in conservative, it just isn't there.

Having said that, the stupid political nicknames that seem to have multiplied over the last year or so are pretty awful and detract from any discussion. 'Libtard' 'Snowflake' 'Killary' 'Drumf' 'Bremoaner' etc.

[–]venicello 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Fixed for accuracy, thanks.

Nicknames always seemed so childish to me. When I was in fifth grade, there was a presidential election going on, and the children in the class divided themselves socially along party lines. They called each other "Democraps" and "Repooplicans." I thought that that was something that you could outgrow, but I'm not so sure now.

[–]Gunsofglory 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

lol your comment looks like something satire, straight out of r/iamverysmart

you do realize, by practically saying "DURR CONSERVATIVES R SO DUM LUL" in that post, you just became the example you were trying to paint conservatives as

btw you obviously havent been to that sub, because liberals are totally accepted there as long as they are civil, and rational discussions between people of all political backgrounds are more frequent there than r/politics will ever have, ironically. but hey, sure, we're just all dumb conservatives, right? im sure you're too intellectually superior to ever have a real discussion with other people outside of your echo chamber.

[–]Winnend 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Impressive. You just proved his point perfectly, all while being triggered enough that you couldn't type out proper sentences.

[–]supremecrafters 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's because the people who want rational political discussion are not the same people that downvote and argue. When I have a discussion, I try to be civil and I upvote anyone who adds to the conversation, but it doesn't matter because other people come in and downvote the person I'm conversing with.

[–]unifiedresistance -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Conservative isn't an opposing view, it's a shit show. In fact, there isn't a single political subreddit on here that isn't a shit show.

The biggest problem of course being that we're not just having disagreements, we fucking hate each other. Trump & the altright have gone full racist, the Bernie-Left went full socialist and the moderates fucking hate both of them.

Oh, and Reddit admins have done nothing to prevent the_dipshits from spreading their propaganda.

Fuck politics.

[–]CanadianHoser 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

blindly banning people that express legitimate concerns about local/state/federal conservative ideologues and policies is kinda the point of forums, and reddit in particular. Just like /r/liberal or /r/politics, they turn into an echo chamber. No intelligent discourse can be found, it all evaporates like boiling water. No individual opinions, just group sentiment.

[–]Admins_Suck_Ass 32 ポイント33 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Pretty much all the political subs that explicitly lean a certain way are huge echo chambers. Shit, /r/LateStageCapitalism doesn't even sugar coat it. On every post, a robot makes a post that says it's a "safe space for Socialist discussion."

[–]pranomostro 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (3子コメント)

/r/debatefascism, /r/debatecommunism, /r/debateanarchism, /r/capitalismvsocialism are some good ones I found that don't fall into that.

[–]Has_No_Gimmick 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

/r/debatefascism

lol what the fuck is there to debate?

Checking it out, it looks primarily like a sub for avowed fascists to jerk themselves off in. Random quote from one of their top threads of all time: "It cannot have free speech, because no successful nation can have free speech." Truly a place for rousing, thoughtful political discussion.

I'm not even gonna bother to check out the others. I assume it's more of the same.

Reddit's obsession with the idea that extremists can be reasoned with and should be actively engaged in dialogue, is a complete fantasy. Let's get /r/debatehteislamicstate next.

[–]Chiburger 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Good discussion marred by an obnoxious gang of shitposters more concerned with snark than debate.

Case in point:

I tend to swing to the right of reddit on some fiscal issues, so I was subscribed to /r/conservative for a while, until i got banned for my posts in this thread.

My Three Posts:

...

Switching to chained CPI is a republican position.

How the hell do you expect to be taken seriously if you ask for cuts, then as soon as the other side offers the cuts, you then say "look at how horrible these cuts are, blame him!!!"

Sorry, but A) that is completely wrong, and B) this article refers only to the switch to Chained CPI, which is entirely a republican position that Obama has offered in his budget in an attempt to "compromise"

Switching to Chained CPI has 2 major effects. The first is that it slows down the growth of federal retirement payments. The main one is Social Security, but it also includes Military and Federal retirement as well. This would cut spending by $216 Billion over the next 10 years. (CBO Estimate)

The second effect is that it slows down tax bracket growth. This means that the level at which you pay higher taxes will grow slower than it would otherwise. This means that people will end up paying more than under CPI. This will raise $124 Billion in revenue over the next 10 years (another CBO estimate).

The income tax bracket levels are indexed to inflation.

If you change the inflation index to something that grows slower (C-CPI instead of CPI) the level at which you pay a higher tax rate will be lower than it would be under a higher measure of inflation. Hence, a switch to C-CPI will raise revenue.

Apparently, me trying to have an actual discussion on chained CPI, and not going along with the OBAMA IS HORRIBLE circlejerk is not conservative enough for the subreddit...

[–]posidonius_of_rhodes 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I really doubt that you got banned for those posts, unless you pissed off a very specific mod, who bans pretty much anyone who annoys him, left or right.

[–]demeteloaf 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Ummmm... those were the posts I was banned for, not sure what to tell you. (You'll notice they've been deleted from the thread)

[–]posidonius_of_rhodes 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah, I think you upset THE mod. Sorry about that. If you message them I think they'll unban you. Make sure to try to talk to Clatsop, like private message him or something.

[–]gettingdirty 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why can't they get rid of that mod?

He banned me for disagreeing that Fox attacked Trump in the primaries. Then would never respond. He's killing what could be a good place of discussion.

[–]TheMemeanator 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (7子コメント)

I think the silliness is people who claim the parties "switched" in the 1960s. When that is not true. Most of the segregationist Democrats were still Democrats. Also /r/conservative is pretty level headed.

You're nuts and completely disregard any basic history.

[–]Scomato 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

The Republican Party platform in 2017 has been utterly hijacked by Donald Trump and remade in the image of Ross Perot's Reform Party circa 1996.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_Party_of_the_United_States_of_America#Platform

See anything familiar?

[–]tehForce 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Except "Make America Great Again" was an untradmarked slogan of Reagan's.

Trump is a chameleon of sorts. He's a populist. His very good at taking popular ideas and presenting them. He did it all through the Primaries with his supporters saying look how this other candidate is copying Trump when he just cherry picked ideas and built his platform as time went on.

He is a master of one upmanship. Some candidates say border security, he doubled or tripled down and said build a wall.

[–]Teemperor 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Also /r/conservative is pretty level headed.

I was once asked in this sub to make a list of (non-conservative) Germans killed by immigrants because they wanted to laugh about it. So... no.

[–]swagtastic_anarchist -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Actually, the segregationist democrats formed the Dixiecrat party very briefly in an attempt to go against the party. They were unsuccessful and most lost their elected positions as a result while, in their absence, northern democrats were able to more heavily include civil rights in the party platform. The few that did return to the party did so very quietly.

Besides, the parties "switched" on a lot more things than civil rights. http://www.livescience.com/34241-democratic-republican-parties-switch-platforms.html

[–]TheGirondin 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

That article is talking about the switch that occurred in the decades around 1900, not this supposed switch in 1960 - which would have meant FDR and JFK would Republicans today, which is clearly not true.

[–]swagtastic_anarchist 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh, THAT switch isn't referring to any ideological switch. Lyndon B. Johnson was finally able to break what was called the "conservative coalition" in congress which was a group of Republicans and Democrats against his Great Society programs and his civil rights reforms. This resulted in many states that regularly voted for one party to suddenly voting for the other, hence the parties "switching sides" since who was voting for who changed.

[–]swagtastic_anarchist 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (9子コメント)

God damnit. I'm a liberal nowadays but like 5-6 years years back, I was subscribed to that subreddit and I remember it being okay. A bit too much liberal strawmanning and a bit of "I'm a special snowflake because I'm conservative on reddit" sentiment by some users there, but overall, it had some good discussion about conservative policies and some back-and-forth on social issues. I was hoping in the wake of /r/The_Donald it would have become a kind of haven for the anti-Trump conservatives instead of just a slightly sanitized echo chamber for Trump using the country to stroke his ego.

[–]brainfreeze91 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (6子コメント)

It was definitely like that in the lead up and during the election. Actually, I assumed that there were still a decent amount of Never Trumpers around there. This is the first time I've heard that /r/Conservative is an echo chamber of pro-Trumpers.

[–]weetchex 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Coming from most other subs, a place that expresses even lukewarm support of Trump is an echo chamber of Trump supporters.

[–]tehForce 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Still a never Trumper but there is no point once Trump is in. He's the President who I didn't vote for, now I can only criticise when I disagree (and praise when I agree) with his policy.

[–]unifiedresistance -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

/r/Conservative used to be a normal right-wing echo chamber, not entirely against a good ol' argument. But the Trumpkins took over and it went wayyyy right.

[–]JAKPiano3412 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Wtf are you talking about. More than half the time they're complaining that someone like Cruz didn't win.

Trump was not even close to the most right wing candidate.

Oh that's fine then, Cruz wasn't a giant piece of shit, right?

[–]FickellNippleTickle 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why wouldn't conservatives support a ban on immigration from select Middle East countries? Reduced fed funding for sanctuary cities? Pipeline project? his cabinet?

They're going to dismantle any and everything Obama has done. That's what conservatives want.

[–]RomoSexua1 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (5子コメント)

/r/conservative is not blindly supportive of Trump.

I can say this without being downvoted in /r/conservative, while in even loosley pro-Trump subs you can't mention it.

[–]Scomato 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Many conservatives view Trump as having hijacked the GOP platform and replaced it with Ross Perot's Reform Party platform. Which is why I think it is inaccurate to label Trump as a Republican, many more would not call him a conservative at all.

[–]RomoSexua1 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Pretty accurate. Members of the Christian Right, like me, generally detest Trump.

Why is someone who brags about banging married women, and wants increased tarriffs running as a "conservative"

[–]Scomato 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

What's is the Christian Right's opinion on Pence? I have been noticing that whenever people talk about Trump actually being very politically centrist, the rebuttal is "but Mike Pence hates science, etc.."

I am very curious to know if they feel that Pence will politically represent (the Christian Right's) best interests at the highest levels of Government. Is there a sense that many members of the religious Right tolerate Trump because they get Pence?

[–]RomoSexua1 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I can't speak for everyone, but I don't think Pence anything more than a political oppurtunist. He appeals to the Christian Right, then backs down as soon as there is any pushback.

He does things to get attention, and it usually works.

[–]Has_No_Gimmick 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Which is why I think it is inaccurate to label Trump as a Republican

Trump is certainly a Republican, and he is the head of the party at that. Whether you like it or not, you cannot change reality. Whether Trump is conservative, whether the party has shifted ideologically from the place you would like to see it -- that's up for debate. Whether he's Republican, is not.

[–]JonathanL72 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (3子コメント)

[–]TheGirondin 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Here is the problem with the so-called "Southern Strategy:" there isn't a single presidential election in the from 1960 to 1996 where Republican won because of the south.

Every time they won, they did by winning in landslides where they won either the west coast, the north east, or (most likely) both. They would have won without the south in every single election they won from 1960-1996.

It's interesting that no who brings it up ever shows electoral maps for the time period in question - because they would show Republican wins as being landslide wins that are mostly red from coast to coast.

Here are the elections, with the winner and party, you can decide for yourself:

1964 - JFK (D) splits the south with 3rd party white supremacist Thurmond.

1968 - Nixon (R) won without winning the deep south, and won with CA.

1972 - Nixon (R) won every state but MA.

1976 - Carter (D) wins the entire south.

1980 - Regean (R) won every state but 5 (including losing GA).

1984 - Regean (R) won every state but MN.

1988 - Bush (R) won almost every state (missing WA, OR, MN, IA, WI, NY)

1992 - Clinton (D) wins almost half of the south.

1996 - Clinton (D) wins with multiple southern states.

2000 - Bush (R) wins entire south. This is the first time in that 40 year span where the south voted as a block for a winning Republican canditate.

[–]Computermaster -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

wins entire south.

Whether or not he did so fairly is still up for debate to a lot of people.

[–]TheGirondin 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, there people Hillary has called "a threat to democracy" who refuse to accept the results of elections, but even the New York Times has decided after several years of in depth analysis that Bush did win the state of FL in 2000.

[–]Has_No_Gimmick 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Just because the strategy did not prove pivotal in and of itself doesn't mean it didn't exist. It certainly existed, Republican strategists from the era attest to it themselves.

Like, it might be my strategy in a football game to save my timeouts for the final quarter. If I never need my timeouts, it doesn't mean I didn't adopt the strategy.

The problem people have with the southern strategy isn't that it helped a Republican win.

[–]ffn 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

They represent two major tennis rivalries dating back over 10 years ago.

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are both former world No. 1 mens tennis players. For a good chunk of their careers, the two of them traded places between #1 and #2, facing each other in many major tournament finals. It's widely accepted that these two players are two of the greatest ever to play the sport. The last time they faced each other in a finals of a grand slam tournament was in the French Open in 2011. Both of them are in their 30s now, past their prime.

Venus and Serena Williams are both former world No. 1 female tennis players. The two of them are sisters, and won their first grand slam tournament as doubles partners in the French Open in 1999. Serena has continued to be a dominant singles player in the following 18 years since, with many speculating she's the greatest female tennis player of all time. Venus has also had a pretty impressive career even though not as incredible as her sister's. The last time she made a finals of a grand slam tournament was in 2009, against her sister Serena.

To see these players in a final again against each other is extraordinary and harks back to the turn of the last decade.

Aside from the wall stuff, he's acting like a conservative. Why wouldn't we support him now?

Ben Shapiro and other people critical of Trump make it on there pretty frequently. We're kind of like a community of dogs and cats who basically decided not to fight each other.

How? Because they agree with much of his executive actions?

[–]Wardenclyffe56 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (4子コメント)

lol, didn't even realize. That's just liberal reddit I guess (and I will get downvoted here too).

[–]swagtastic_anarchist 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'd say it's a combination of liberal reddit and Trump being a very poor representation of conservative ideology but a very good representation of the toxicity of only the worst parts of conservative culture and American culture in general.

It's some damn pettiness to respond to your comment with downvotes, though. Kind of a good representation of some of the problems with American liberal culture and internet culture at large.

[–]Wardenclyffe56 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

To me Trump being a poor representation of conservative ideology has nothing to do with the downvotes, because imo that'd mean the downvotes would come from "real conservatives", and my guess is they don't care enough. I am subbed there because conservatism interests me, while also supporting Trump because his ideas interest me too, and I think it was about damn time a Republican that wasn't a real conservative came into office though (I'm also not American but I try to learn about American culture).

But I literally couldn't care less, this "hate" would have to happen irl for me to do something.

You figured it out! Say that you'll get downvoted and reddit will upvote you.

[–]Wardenclyffe56 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The secret is in the sauce being the center of a political discussion and saying you will be downvoted and shunned for your views.

I honestly first commented to see how people would react. I'm overall happy with how it turned out.

[–]RicketyPick 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Welcome to reddit. I'm surprised the admins even allowed that sub on the trending list. Although I'd like to have a ban on political subs on trending.

I mean ... no, I don't get it.

 

Edit: now there are upvotes to compensate. My comment is irrelevant.

[–]Wardenclyffe56 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I'm a conservative... I'm practically the devil for some people.

Or I'm getting brigaded, but I don't think I've made enough enemies to deserve this kind of hate.

[–]Milleuros 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

American politics are in a rather poor shape if the response to "I'm a conservative" is "Fuck that guy" :/

I mean, I'm rather full-socialist kind of guy. I'd probably never vote for most if not all of what today's conservative defend. But that's like, just my opinion. I may be right, I may be wrong, I don't know. What I know is that left or right, it's basically arguing on which path to take to reach the very same goal.

[–]Wardenclyffe56 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

At least you're a socialist that is rational... I like you. You won't get purged.

In all seriousness, yes, it's fucked up. But hey, if for the next 4 years (possibly and hopefully 8) all they will do is shut their ears and scream "lalala I can't hear you", more power to them. Make the other side be the adults in the situation, I don't care.

I just started seeing marketing on it like 2 days ago. I assume a lot of people saw it as well, noticed it mainly had older cards (hits that nostalgia factor) and downloaded it.

I was banned from /r/conservative for complaining about the influx of memes and click bait news articles. I had been an active member there for 4 years, and I've been pretty consistently conservative for a long time. One of the mods likes to sticky his posts to the top of the subreddit regardless of content to try to boost it. The subreddit has gone downhill a lot since the Donald trump was nominated

[–]posttruth -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Agreed. Subscribed to discuss conservative policy - instead we get "The_Donald lite"

Conservatism might as well be dead, Trump supports does not support many conservative values, yet they have claim the title as their own now. It would be nice to see a genuine conservative subreddit that isn't just another Trump sub.

The r/NeverTrump sub is largely conservative and is anti trump, in case that helps, but I'd like to find one that isn't necessarily about trump?
