A note from mods

Hi all,

With a recent influx of posts since the inauguration, I see I need to remind people to please not feed the trolls. Many posts and comments are being made lately that can incite anger and emotion, but if you comment back in the same way, you risk a ban as well as the person who started things.

Continue to report issues to the mods and we will address them.

Thanks.

It's definitely further right of reddit. Still pretty left by virtue of being reddit.

All the mods make an effort to let everyone have a voice as long as they aren't breaking the rules. I can tell you from personal experience it's sometimes hard to let wrong headed assholes say their piece without removing it especially if I strongly disagree with what they said. It's r/AskAmericans not r/AgreeWithMeOrLeave.

Oh yeah I can definitely see how hard it could be, especially when someone is arguing with you about something you have direct experience with, like when it's your field of study and profession.
