      See if that fracture holds up on /r/Conservative once the media machine decides what the talking points are

        The exact same thing happened on January 6th. They initially expressed disapproval and dismay, but once the “it was just a riot, bro” narrative caught on all dissent vanished. They’d received their marching orders so they no longer had to face the terrifying prospect of actually having to think for themselves.

        /r/conservative will always be a nest of Trump support because its moderators are its absolute kings. But the tighter they squeeze their fingers, the fewer genuine participants will stick around. Eventually that’ll start to actually cause problems.

        They’ve got to be. All the posts that I can are in favor of Trump. Literally salivating over how strong he was. Such brave. Very power.

      The more conservative people that I know who aren’t just hard-boiled antichrist enjoyers support both Ukraine and American power projection. In all likelihood, they’re not very happy about this.
