I write this this post in my office, completely dumbfounded after scouring political subreddits. I am a registered independent who wants nothing more than to have a genuine political discussion. I can't find that anywhere on reddit but here.

r/politics is a joke

half of the posts on r/all are trump bashing circle jerking liberal posts.

The moment I put up a LOGICAL post with factual support, I just get downvoted, bashed, and belittled by what I can only image to be a thousand angry neckbeards trying to save the world one illegal immigrant at a time.

It's frustrating, exhausting, and nauseating.

What's even funny about it is that there are democrat and liberal idea's/policies that I support (global warming and clean energy) but I still get bashed and labeled a Trump dick rider.

I like to look at the scope of everything and try to understand each political situation with a clear, non-partisan bias. I don't know why, but evidently that's cause for my Crucifixion.

What I've discovered over the past 5 years is that republicans and conservatives are the much more level headed, logical people out there. They seem to have a firm understanding of how the world works and what the consequences are of acting on irrational emotion.

I was a registered democrat once who (regrettably now) voted for Obama twice. I now look at the left and at the democratic party and I shake my head at what I see. It's pure chaos.

So I finish this off by saying thank you r/conservative. Thank you for being rational people who I can actually have a civil conversation with (and even disagree with at times). That's a rare thing to find now days, especially on reddit.
