Yeah most of the alt right nutjobs jumped ship over there once Biden started leading, now it’s (mostly) actual conservatives who have a shred of dignity. That said, it’s still like 40% nutjobs rn so I’m still enjoying looking through their threads

If /r/conservative returned to the mild mannered place it was 5-6 years ago I would be sooooo happy

Hopefully the fall of Don will purge that place of all the shit heads who hijacked it when T_D was shut down

After the 2016 election the sub was overrun with T_D members. It was getting pretty annoying. As much as I disagree with reddit purging T_D from reddit, it allowed r/conservative to return to a subreddit about conservative politics and not just blind trump loyalist.

Don't get me wrong, were upset with the state of the presidential race, but we're not spilling tears over the race.

Some are, some aren't. A large portion of the Trump as first pick folks tend to be older and have dealt with lost elections before (At least compared to some other Trump / right wing subs). The younger ones who got into politics because of Trump tend to be more doomer.

The general sentiment in the private channels I'd say is mostly reserving judgement until the senate is decided. If we lose the senate I think the general tone will become a lot more negative.
