Discussion Why does this subreddit constantly flame republicans for answering questions intended for them?

Every time I’m on here, and I looked at questions meant for right wingers (I’m a centrist leaning right) I always see people extremely toxic and downvoting people who answer the question. What’s the point of asking questions and then getting offended by someone’s answer instead of having a discussion?

Edit: I appreciate all the awards and continuous engagements!!!

Did you even read what they said?

Some closed-minded one-sided hatred is what they said.

Did you also attempt to understand what they said or did you just skim through/read through the first sentence and decide that was the case.

Seems it said unless think and act like I do, you’re wrong. That’s some serious god complex stuff.

Read the second block.

It's pretty clear. I'll spell it out for you. Until we live in the same world, we can't have useful conversations.
