Minority/ethnicity is not a choice, nor does it have any bearing on someone’s worldview. You can certainly note a demographic trend on Reddit without getting downvoted if you aren’t using it to justify bad policy ideas.

Political party, on the other hand, is a choice. And it’s a worldview. I don’t think every Republican voter is a carbon copy of DT but I do think almost every Republican politician and Republican media completely capitulated to him. And anyone who remains a Republican voter after that doesn’t see how fundamentally bad that form of politics is. I can’t speak for Reddit as a whole but I do think that’s how most of the users you are talking about feel.

I actually did like your original comment. Reddit does get very caught up on how bad Republican politicians are and can forget that there are bad Democrats too. But the majority of Reddit does not like the “both sides are equally bad” argument because it’s obviously not true. Democrat media and politicians do not capitulate to Biden’s every whim the way Republican media/politicians capitulated to DT. Even if they had; it would have been more understandable because Biden is not a narcissistic trustfund dickhead.

I’m not saying both sides are equally bad, just that they’re on the same team.

They put on a show for the peasants but at the end of the day they all get richer together.
