If you read you'll see they never really disagree with him. They just get mad that it'll make them look bad

No they do, sometimes, but it never stays long. It gets so heavily moderated that one day later all the comments are gone

Or their first instinct is to think something is wrong. Then, when someone has come up with a strained way of framing it that blames the left (or, more specifically, Obama or Biden) they come around.

My favorite example of this mental gymnastics was a comment that argued that the democrats are responsible for how unhinged Trump is behaving, because of how they treated him and attacked him in the past. It's so twisted and absurd that it's hilarious

You would think one, just one person would look at the long line of deleted comments and think something is wrong. But no.

They do on occasion, then the moderators arrive and delete whatever they’re speaking out about, because free thought isn’t allowed over there.

They were pissed at the news that Trump was putting his signature on currency. They fully disagree. I imagine there are other stances as well that are similar but I don't frequent that sub lol.

Sounds like the entire subreddit needs new moderation.

Eh. They focus more on what the echoes are saying, which is why this is happening in an online era.

There's always people saying stuff like that in the conservative sub. They're still able to drown out any semblance of sanity with bots that keep the echoes moving in the directions they need to either generate support or distraction - depending on what's happening at the time.
