New to Lemmy and I quit reddit years ago and I remembered that r/conservatives was hostile to me for voicing my politics certain other subreddit made fun of me if I was wrong. I'm newish to the fediverse. I'm digging mastodon even though I never did Twitter

so it’s not at all a stretch to be conservative, religious, and democrat all at the same time.

Yes. That's a lot of older African-Americans, from what I've heard. Church every Sunday, but they'd chew off their own leg before they vote Trump.

My impression is that the average .world user is a progressive. Some stray towards centrism, some are communist. The Pol-Pot post I saw was on Hexbear.

IRL, well, you know.

as i said earlier, .world is center-right; i don't get any sense of progressiveness from them.

they might be progressive compared to republicans, but not compared to your average western european or latin american or canadian; aka the western world.
