I got so sick of the anti-conservative, anti-Trump (not that I'm pro trump, I can just see both sides of his coin and I don't think hes been a bad president), anti-free speech circle jerk of reddit, I stopped going into any posts or subs aside from a few very niche subs that hadn't been overrun by SJWs, and /r/conspiracy. If you mention something even remotely not Woke you are instantly brigaded and shouted down as a racist/transphobe/ect without any discussion. Nobody gives a shit about facts there any more, it's a leftist echochamber in any big sub. Every other post on politics or news was something anti-trump or negative about something or other. I just cant understand living life so angrily.

I came here for a lot a of the same reasons. There is no room for holding a nuanced opinion on reddit much less rationally discussing that opinion without being called names, banned, or downvoted to hell. I consider myself left leaning on a lot of issues, I’m not pro-trump (but I’m not on the Trump hate bandwagon and don’t think he’s been that bad of a president and I’d rather him than Biden any day), I’m a gen z bisexual agnostic woman who’s pro-science, and there is no place for ME on reddit - that just goes to show how much of an extremist leftist communist shithole reddit has turned into.

Most of the users are dumb high school and college kids, that's why liberalism is nuts there.

Your comment was so refreshing to read! I also consider myself a leftist, but was becoming increasingly disgusted by the constant authleft woke drivel and rhetoric we’re bashed with, I feel like I can see through it to its political agenda. Yet others don’t seem to realize it. Also the constant Trump hate was getting overwhelming. A relative of mine and I spoke about this (the virtue signaling) and he flipped and accused me of being MAGA and told my family about it in an attempt to shame me for having these beliefs. It was insane
