It's unbelievable how vocal the minority of conservatives on reddit have suddenly gotten in the one sub where a large demographic of important voters often interact. Hmmm. Coincidence?

Thank you. Yea. this exactly.

The reason I urge discussion rather than anonymous retribution vis a vis downvote brigadeing is it reinforces group think. Echo chambers.

If you can discuss a problem it's easy enough to dismantle a LOT of the rhetoric thrown around by hate groups... but if you simply meet intolerance and hate with the same nothing good comes of it.

OP, like many, may have their heart in the right place but is, as far as I am concerned, virtue signaling and nothing more.
