Are you seeing Lemmy being intolerant of all right wing discussion, or just Maga bullshit like sol is railing against

[-] oce@jlai.lu 4 points 1 month ago

No need to go right actually, even defending social democrate values may attract intolerant leftists on some instances.

[-] FireTower@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I see both. Even moderate conservative view point tend to get straw manned as being MAGA. Heck I see left leaning people who just didn't like that Biden was running get bashed for suggesting the Democrats run a different candidate. Now I see the same on anything less the pro Kamala.

If Harris anonymously posted a self criticism on here I wouldn't be surprised if people called her MAGA. That's not to say everyone here acts that way but a vocal percentage does.

Anytime you mention anything right wing you get a lot of downvotes and a lot of railing against MAGA. It is almost enough to make me vote for Trump just out of spite. There might be a "silent majority" that doesn't do that, but the evidence that anyone can see: comments and votes are clearly intolerant of all right wing discussion.

Just look at all the different replies I've got - most of them instead of looking at Lemmy in the mirror proved the point by jumping onto railing against MAGA.

To me, voting for Trump "out of spite" doesn't sound like something a person would do if they cared about others. I hope you won't do that.

I think the problem is more that maga has taken over the right wing, and instead of distancing themselves from maga, a lot of conservatives end up defending it. Which should not be tolerated imo.

If someone is intolerant of maga, what is so hard about saying "I don't like them either"

That's because all of right wing politics is hurting people for no good reason.

[-] Neon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I absolutely 100% get what you mean.

But I'd implore you to wait a Moment and think about it. Voting for Trump isn't only going to "own the Tankies", It will also damage everyone else, including you. Don't let others bully you into voting for someone that doesn't help you. Be egoistic, vote for someone who actually cares about you.
