    No, that’s exactly what I thought, and I’m still confused as why this is bad? Do people want baby’s first echo chamber again?

          Yeah, I wasn’t the clearest here. I thought they shouldn’t be allowed on there at all, but I’m rethinking it now.

            Like, if they post a nazi thing they can be admonished and punished and shown for what they are, but if they just are ignored, what’s the platform for? We want to expose and ridicule them as much as possible

      We also want to ensure that conservatives are repeatedly alienated so they build their own networks and never see other points of view! /s

          Echo chamber in different words. I grew up with a lot of conservatives. Hard second amendment people. They listen if you listen

            They listen if you listen

            In a fantasy world version of the US, conservatives do that, in the real world US the minute you start doing that you have abandoned what it means to be a conservative.

              Check this out. I used to do things like this with hard core right wing (trump flags, cleaning their guns everyday).

              My goal wasn’t to convince them, but get them to think critically and feel safe around liberals. The ones I talked to were usually convinced leftists were out to get them. I was a leftist who would literally just listen to them, watch Fox news with them and then we’d get burritos and hang out.

              I want them to think of me and other friends, when they see videos of ICE beating up people. I’ll never convince them to vote blue, but maybe I can convince them that we can disagree about politics, but still be friends
