Can't you fathom Trump being criticized organically? You know, the convicted felon that just pardoned the neonazis that attempted to overthrow the government 4 years ago, that undid 60 years of progress by repelling the Civil Rights Act, that appointed his corrupt billionaire friends to every positions in this government but then rants on about how "DEI is taking away our meritocracy".


I can. But it doesn’t change the fact that nearly all the default subs are run by the same mods, who give blatant manipulation a pass as long as they agree with it politically.


I'm baffled by the fact this is the first case of "manipulation" you mention, when X is many orders of magnitude worse and more harmful to our democracies. But perhaps you don't care because you agree with its sieg-heiling owner?


Oh, you’re upset because you’re one of those “r/politics tells me what to think” NPCs. What’s it like being a breathing LLM trained on input data chosen by a Reddit moderator?


You're projecting, I don't have Reddit. A baseless ad hominem attack, how surprising for a Republican.


So you genuinely have no idea how hilariously manipulated a given section of a social media site you don’t use is, but because it’s critical of Trump it must be organic.
