Is this sub pro-trump?

No. It is non-partisan.

We are anti-corruption, and pro-proletariat.

Pro Truth

Agreed.

I would also say pro-disruption, which is what gives some people the impression we are pro-trump. When Trump tweets something that completely unhinges everyone in the media, it makes my day. That doesn't mean I love what Trump is doing policy wise, I just enjoy watching all these politicians run around screaming like a bunch of babies.

Agreed.

In a word, we practice disestablishmentarianism.

That is my new favorite word for us!

Unfortunately, half of the users on the site don't have the mental capacity to understand this perspective.

You mean they are paid to characterize us differently. My favorite is how they try to characterize us as pro-establishment. Like some reality star winning the presidency means that a decade of media collusion with the other team just went the fuck away because Trump got a new hat haha.

I only ask because it seems like the sub is very Hillary is bad now.

And other days it's Trump is bad.

However, the anti-Trump people don't like to admit that this is the case because they just peddle the 'It's r/the_d2' line.

As someone who isn't from the US, both sides have days which dominate the front page and both sides hate it when the other side is "winning".

Just stop clogging up the place with "Is this place overtaken by Trumpets?" posts.

Don't lie man. Go to top posts and sort them by week or month. There isn't a single post about Trump being bad. Go ahead and check.

Ah, back from your hiatus. Wow, 9 comments aleady in the last hour! The mornings are so nice.

So I guess you went to Top posts and filtered it by week and month and scrolled down and realized "fuck, this dude is right there are no negative posts about Trump. Better go back and say some shit about how he comments too much or something."

So I guess you went to Top posts and filtered it by week and month and scrolled down and realized "fuck, this dude is lying. Better go back and add about how he comments too much or something."

ftfy, I'm not going to waste too much effort arguing against you.

So you're accusing me of lying without even checking. Thats pathetic. Go check for yourself. It takes less than 20 seconds. You worried?

I already clearly implied I had checked, please keep lying and banging your head against this subreddit, it's no longer annoying and is now entertainment.

Oh yeah? So which negative post about Trump hit the front page? Just link me one in the last month. I'll bet 10 dollars you won't. Because there are none.

When the fuck has this sub been not Hillary is bad!? I know Reddit did a complete 180 after the election (when it comes to Hillary) but this sub has consistently hated the Clinton's (and the Bushes) since it started.

I guess I meant more than normal lately.

Hillary is a criminally corrupt filth-pig.

That doesn't mean I'm pro-Trump.

This sub always has and always will be "Hillary is bad" because being a criminal is bad.

This sub has always hated the Clintons. And for good reason.

The Clinton's are a conspiracy theorists wet dream, we have always been obsessed with them and their shady dealings.

Hillary IS bad, she and Bill has corruption going back decades. You might be unaccustomed to the critical eye that is being shined on the Clintons here because the rest of Reddit is tightly controlled to a specific narrative. A neutral community would seem strange to you then.

Lol. Riiight.

A lot of people here certainly are

Some of us are just hopeful.

I'm anti-shit threads. Like this one for instance

a good portion of us isn't even US based.

I am, e.g., from Germany. I have no direct stake in the US election, other than remotely effect.
I am certainly not pro-<insert-any-politician-here>, not even in Germany ;-)

I wonder if that's why there's so many anti-US threads here.

Anti-US? Or anti-establishment?

Anti-US

I haven't noticed that. I see it the political and news subs, but rarely here.

Some people here are pro-Trump, so are not.

The only political consensus that appears to unite the myriad factions of this sub is: "Free Speech, The Free Press, Fair Elections."

That's a direct and inescapable consequence of kettling all of reddit's dissidents in one place and then attempting a sustained DOS on the dialog.

The Lefties insist it's pro Trump.

The Righties insist its pro Shareblue.

Yup. It's always filtered through their own biases.

Those of us that aren't either wish the whole thing could be dropped so we could focus on the issues.

I insist that it is mostly regular people with lots of Establishment shills creating division and causing people to pick sides.

My 2 cents, and I will say it EVERY time I see one of these type posts, is they ALL play for the same Team. Divide&Conquer is Real....

The low % of actual, free-thinking flesh and blood users are pro Liberty and Justice for All. Representatives of the federal corporation of America are all hostile agents unless, like Kennedy, they do things which seperate the Republic from the Private, Foreign banking institutions.

It is certainly anti-establishment which trump represents but he is not immune to critique either.

I agree, this sub is anti-establishment and Trump presented himself (falsely most likely) as a kindred spirit.

No. You are just used to the unabashed Trump hate found on the more strictly controlled parts of reddit, that a more neutral sub will look biased to you, till you add proper perspective to your chain of thought.

Well put.

Not especially, but there will be probably more pro-Trump comments here than most places on Reddit. Many people are pro-Trump only because they are anti-corruption, which means anti-Congress, or anti-establishment.

As long as you make a decent argument, and don't regurgitate fake news you should do ok.

I certainly wouldn't blame young people for not knowing how complex this web of darkness is.

From the down votes I've received I'd go with no

It really shouldn't be "pro" anyone.

I'd say this sub is anti-corruption. Trump ran on a sort of anti-corruption, law and order platform (drain the swamp), so people here generally are more favorable towards him than most of the rest of Reddit.

Inb4 people try to convince me that Trump was never genuinely anti-corruption, that he is corrupt himself, blah blah blah. You're not going to convince me.

Bluefreon ..you are a .....for having a positive belief in trump. That is all..

no and i am starting to hate this sub for all the political conspiracy threads im seeing that are US politics , IMO all those threads belong in their own sub . might like to name it US political conspiracy so this sub can get back to the fun it once had , i miss the goofy days of big foot , lough ness monster , aliens , ufos and underground bases :(

Rule 12, first warning.

I haven't noticed that. I see it the political and news subs, but rarely here.
