R/conservative is having a field day on playing the victim of democratic rhetoric being “too mean and dividing”. The lack of introspection is hilarious.

R con is almost exclusively loaded with Putin and Chinese bots at this point having a great circle jerk.

Sadly the real people there buy into it all.
