Its fucking wild seeing people still talking about how biased reddit is against people on the right. Go onto any big subreddit and you'll see their no politics rule means no left wing politics.

    got to fan that flame as much as you can, the entire US right-wing identity is built around making "the left" suffer.

    It worked to keep gun sales hugely high volume and high profit for decades. "The dems are about to take away your right to buy guns, go buy them now while you can! We've said this every election for the last thirty years, but this time it's serious!"

    It sucks so bad that it's such a long-term effective strategy. Fighting it would mean figuring out how to regulate both social and traditional media to reduce engagement bait lies, but I don't know if we have a path to that.
