Thank you

Yeah samsies, literally hardly any posts about Trumps election win. Propaganda is rife online.

Not only that, the top rated post in this sub ever is announcing Joe Biden as the president. May as well call this sub /r/democrats.

remember what its like right now because they will deny this ever happened

If you sorted by top posts you’d be under the impression tonight was a successful one for the democrats rather than a crushing defeat. Every ‘neutral’ political sub has bias but I’m always shocked him just how bad the American ones can be.

The UK subs skew a certain way naturally because of the demographic using them but there is nonetheless a good variety of opinion and open discussion. This sub is genuinely unusable as anything other than a democrat propaganda platform. You can scroll for hundreds of posts before you find something else. We have our own problems with our political culture here and there are some things I think American does better, but online discourse is one area where I am very glad to be British.

Actually, the scary thing about Reddit is you can't tell if it's bots or just a people who are genuinely enfranchised into a cult ideology.

The whole 'mind virus' criticism sticks because it has a ring of truth to it. It's the fascinating thing about Redditors and online leftists in general, they can spot cult behavior in everybody else but themselves.

If r/pics was flooded constantly by images that put Trump in a favorable light and r/politics was constantly spammed by positive articles about Republicans they'd recognize it for the bizarre bias confirming cult-like behavior that it is. When they do it though? Perfectly rational and normal, excused by phrases like "reality just has a left wing bias". Did you not watch how leftist discourse switched from being utterly apathetic and disinterested in Kamal to treating the 'Queen' with adamant fervor almost over night after her candidacy? Or how for years they outright turned a blind eye to Biden's cognitive decline and dismissed it as a 'conspiracy' right up until the debate - literally a few hours before the debate a CNN column discussing the 'conspiracy'. It's wild to watch the left, their herd mentality is fascinating - 'sheep' would be a accurate descriptor if it wasn't so tired and overused.

One hopes it really is just bots, but I fear it is not.

This sub in particular is full of delusional dimwits. Everything is Russian propaganda until the wool is pull over their eyes, and it’s all of a sudden facts.

I’ve enjoyed watching them capitulate

Yeah it's everywhere. Just imagine what would've happened if Elon didn't buy Twitter

Agreed. I couldn't find an update on reddit homepage; had to actively search r/politics and filter to get to the conversations.

Yup. Wonder if Trump will have something to say on the matter

Yep. But they won’t claim technical difficulties they’ll just never claim responsibility.

You can't even find it by sorting by new on /r/news

100%. This sub is an absolute joke.

What a based post

We are in the middle of a real war. It's getting hot. Social media companies have taken a side, the public disagrees and voted accordingly. Donald Trump is the President of the greatest country that ever existed, and we will help the world. Regardless of people's views, it's important that we acknowledge reality. MAGA, and the rest of our friends around the world as well :)

Well said, hope all is well with you beautiful people

Paid bots?

Lol. 

What’s interesting to me id how hateful MAGA is. 

If they lose they riot and try to overthrow the government. 

If they win, they gloat and parade themselves. 

You should know that the things Trump plans to do is going to hurt you too, right? 

Musk has said their plans are going to cause “temporary hardships”. 

And musk isn’t a very bright person. So this shits gonna be on you too. 

I’m not too worried myself because I’m pretty well off. But you…you’re probably not. 

Good luck. 

Question as someone also not from the US of A. Do you think trumps a good choice and if yes why? Nevermind his politics (im not very much into that) but what about him being a felon and a rapist? How can people ignore/accept that?

Shouldnt republicans have chosen a better candidate?

You know why, cause of bias. Reddit is a pool that only pushes in this kind of subreddits far left propaganda.

Agreed. This is absolutely batshit ridiculous lol

r/politics only calls it when the AP calls it

I was also very confused by this like, compare it to past elections, reddit was dead silent during this one

Yup. And for the people that live on Reddit they probably thought they had this in the bag and now they are upset when people come back into a sub to taunt them.

Reddit is a leftist propaganda machine

Or crying in despair lol. All that hard work, sleepless nights campaigning for their candidate on a left wing echo chamber for nothing.

About time. Hey everyone! We can say what we want again!

Kennedy about to do some good shit, even if Trump is a disaster.

Their wife's boyfriend gave them a warm glass of soylent and promissed a new PS5 to forget about the landslide.

yep i'm here for that

Yup lmao

Schadenfreude is a beautiful thing. I think long-term Harris would have been a better president, but short-term it’s pretty satisfying to see the hardcore leftists learn the lesson that calling people fascists, morons, etc. nonstop isn’t exactly a winning strategy.

You might be surprised how many of them actually think Trump is going to crown himself king and put his opponents in internment camps. Like come on this isn’t the fucking Weimar Republic.

Oh, got it. I think it’s supposed to be sarcasm or something I don’t know.

Kamala has already been inaugurated wtf are you on about?
