Absolutely. If you based your view of who lives in DC off of the commenters in this sub, you'd think the whole city is a bunch of Republicans who want police to euthanize homeless people, mandatory minimums for every crime, and corporations to be able to fuck anyone over who doesn't hire a $700 an hour attorney to read their lease.

it’s especially weird because reddit leans very strongly left as it is, and DC is also a very left leaning city. But for some reason, the DC sub is pretty conservative lol

The sub gets brigades pretty hard by conservatives who live elsewhere because of the pervasive idea that DC is only the federal government and adjacent industries

On the crime stuff in particular, I do imagine a lot of the commenters are ostensibly Democratic voters who just have never really thought that hard about how to stop crime besides tougher enforcement. But yeah, super weird overall.
