    Even /r/conservative (I couldn’t resist looking) is not cool with this. I’m not saying that Trump is suddenly done for, but this is clearly a major fracture and he needs to do something about it before people start feeling emboldened and challenge him.

    Let me be clear: I hope he doesn’t do shit and doubles down.

      See if that fracture holds up on /r/Conservative once the media machine decides what the talking points are

      I noticed posts critical of trump being removed so i think the mods are actively trying to get a handle of it. i expected nothing less

        /r/conservative will always be a nest of Trump support because its moderators are its absolute kings. But the tighter they squeeze their fingers, the fewer genuine participants will stick around. Eventually that’ll start to actually cause problems.

          It’s honestly a way quieter sub than it used to be because what you’re describing has been happening IMO

        They’ve got to be. All the posts that I can are in favor of Trump. Literally salivating over how strong he was. Such brave. Very power.

      The more conservative people that I know who aren’t just hard-boiled antichrist enjoyers support both Ukraine and American power projection. In all likelihood, they’re not very happy about this.
