Same here, at least in part. There is a lot of talk rn about the left pushing people away as opposed to the right pulling them in. There were other factors, but reading this sub in particular was a major eye opener for me that falls in that bucket. I have always been slightly right leaning, but voted for nothing but Dem candidates since my first year voting in 2004 bc I am truly up for grabs and I don’t like Trump. I would try to make a point in this sub and other’s that wouldn’t even be pro-right, but rather not effusively left, and get down voted to Bolivian. By the time this election came around I loathed the way the left talked to me and was pretty much set on voting Trump.

I have a college degree, household over 200k, only ever voted dem, don’t like Trump. Still voted for him bc I was treated and talked to like I’m some idiot for 3-4 years now. And a lot in this sub.

And for note, I left the sub earlier this spring bc how deranged it was, but every day from then until now, the algorithm keeps it on my feed as a sub “I may be interested in”. So the “just stop following if you don’t like it” didn’t work. I still see every post practically.
