Not everyone who is right wing is voting for trump.

Are you seeing Lemmy being intolerant of all right wing discussion, or just Maga bullshit like sol is railing against

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Anytime you mention anything right wing you get a lot of downvotes and a lot of railing against MAGA. It is almost enough to make me vote for Trump just out of spite. There might be a "silent majority" that doesn't do that, but the evidence that anyone can see: comments and votes are clearly intolerant of all right wing discussion.

Just look at all the different replies I've got - most of them instead of looking at Lemmy in the mirror proved the point by jumping onto railing against MAGA.

To me, voting for Trump "out of spite" doesn't sound like something a person would do if they cared about others. I hope you won't do that.

I think the problem is more that maga has taken over the right wing, and instead of distancing themselves from maga, a lot of conservatives end up defending it. Which should not be tolerated imo.

If someone is intolerant of maga, what is so hard about saying "I don't like them either"
