their favorite thing to post is “they’re brigading us!” when a really stupid take gets downvoted and is divisive even among the hogs.

Always the same, one person (that is not white and not Christian) did something bad - “see I told yall, dems don’t wanna see the truth, kick all of them out!”

My favourite takes the last few days from their sub: “Newson promised to end homelessness to end 10 years ago and nothing happened” - all while Trump promised to end the Russia Ukraine war in one day “Maxwell herself said Trump is innocent and they will still not be happy with it” - bro don’t even know where to start with that one

All of their arguments can easily be counter arguments.

The Maxwell thread had a comment that basically said “well if Maxwell said Trump was incriminated, Dems would have said she was truthful!”

Wait, wouldn’t you just do the reverse and claim she’s a felon and perjured herself many times before?

It's such a bizarre place. You'll find a good chunk of "rational" comments on a post about something unhinged Trump says or does, that say he's going too far, it's a waste of time, whatever. Then the magats calling those people liberals get downvoted and cry brigade. Then the next post is like "Yeah I'm super mega pro Trump" and it's equally upvoted. Is it collective split personality or is it just all bots

There's 100% people in there that are "This is too far. This isn't the role of the federal government."

And there's 100% people in there that call them fake conservatives and feel like any action is justified because liberals are literally the devil.

And there's 100% bots that play both sides of that engagement to sow more anger.

Not only stupid, but also demonstrably fake, except that we don't have the ability to show the facts

Indeed any link, from any subreddit, no matter how small, and they'll reference it and say they're being brigaded. Simply whisper their existence and they scream in fear.
