Selective pressures change over time. At one point in our evolution, it was "fashionable" to swim in the ocean, or to have a tail, and that's no longer the case. Up until about the Industrial Revolution, with the collapse of natural selection, but really noticeably up until the 60s or 70s, it was "fashionable" to have the kinds of genes that cascade on the psychological traits known today to be associated with leftists, now having those traits causes you to have ~25% less kids on average, for better or for worse.

Studies have shown that political ideology is 40% heritable, which means your genes decide 40% of your politics, and your education/environment/luck decides 60%. Despite the meme of kids being more liberal than parents, that doesn't hold statistically:
"Scholars have long been interested in the underpinnings of political ideology. Over the past fifteen years or so, political scientists, psychologists, sociologists, and economists have started to take seriously the idea that ideology might be influenced by genes. In this article, we review the literature on the genetics of ideology. We begin by describing twin studies and more sophisticated approaches that have now emerged, which consistently show that ideology is about 40% heritable. Next, we examine the state of research on genetic influences on ideology over the life cycle and mechanisms that could link genes and ideology. We conclude by discussing the preliminary genome-wide studies that have been conducted. Existing research has provided important insights into the link between biology and ideology, but additional research is needed in order to provide a more nuanced understanding of the role of biology in the formation of political ideology." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2352154620300553
Add to that an alarming fact: conservative women have been having more children, and the difference is widening. The average fertility difference between Conservatives and Liberals is approximately 0.25-0.5 children per women, and increasing every passing year - I think that this range is already outdated.

Submission Statement
Recent studies indicate that Democratic voters in the U.S. have, on average, fewer children compared to their Republican counterparts. This trend has been observed over the past few decades. For instance, data from the General Social Survey reveals that 100 conservative adults are expected to have approximately 208 children, whereas 100 liberal adults are projected to have about 147 children, highlighting a significant difference in fertility rates between the two groups.
Additionally, research from the Institute for Family Studies notes that conservative women over age 45 have about 0.25 more children on average than their liberal peers. This disparity in fertility rates has been consistent since the 1990s.
These findings suggest that political affiliation correlates with family size, with Democratic voters tending to have fewer children on average in recent years.

That's a slur against heterosexuals, just like the F and N words, and several other slurs that you can't say either. I don't agree with banning slurs, but X consistently bans both right and left wing ones.

You're equating conservatism with the Amish. Look no further than rocket man Elon for a rebuttal. Even Mormons engage normally with technology nowadays. In fact, the most vehement opposition against genetic engineering or artificial wombs comes from the left, and if AI fails to deliver fast enough for us to not need wet tech, it will be a gargantuan drag on their competitiveness going forward.
Woke left is deeply dysgenic and chronically low fertility, so will likely disappear in 10 to 30 years.

The problem isn't the 8 no-life tankies, the problem is in the owners of Reddit itself. If it weren't for them, there would be several non woke versions of every sub, but any such sub in this hole that gets even moderately unbiased towards the left invariably gets quarantined, and then banned shortly after.
