As is on Reddit, the number of non-political posts with top level comments slandering republicans, seemingly totally off topic, is disappointing. I'm not American, so I don't understand why so many conversations are simply "republican bad". It seems obsessive.
Because republican politicians what to limit the freedoms of other people. Many republican voters don't, but they vote for "their side" anyway. Do I need to respect the republican voter that's personally tolerant, but still votes for intolerance?
Because conservative bs affects almost everything in our lives. Not pointing it out just enables it to keep happening.
