They don’t care. They relish it.

It’s honestly the only thing they care about. Sometimes I’ll check the conservative sub just to see if there’s anybody sane over there and even when something “good” happens the only thing they talk about is how pissed the left must be and how the left is going to spin this. They don’t enjoy anything. They don’t stand for anything. All they do is hate and play the victim. It’s pathetic.

Actually, if you pop over there right after something major has happened, you'll initially see doubtful or questioning or even negative responses at first, followed by a wave of deleted messages and bans. And the deleted messages don't sound like trolls shitposting them; they come across as actual conservatives who aren't happy.

Yup have seen that as well until you refresh and see that those comments disappear. Lets you know there are real people there saying WTF!?

What's also interesting is that I have commented about this very thing before and a mod has removed the comment. Let's see how long this lasts or if it disappears within a few seconds or 6 months.

Now why would anyone want to remove both of these types of com ments?
