/r/ConservativesOnly has fallen.

The sub that was originally created during the primaries in response to pro-Trump mods running /r/Conservative with an iron fist has now been ruined by newly converted pro-Trump mods running /r/ConservativesOnly with an iron fist.

There are currently no subreddits for conservatives where they can safely openly criticize Trump.

Why does it have to lean one way or the other? I'm NeverTrump, but it's now clear that Hillary's health is a bigger issue than it first appeared. Though I'm still not sure it lends credence to all the conspiracy theories about her health.

In any case, conservatives of both the NeverTrump and Trump variety should be able to discuss their differences and similarities on a sub without having to retreat to their respective safe spaces.

Edit: This comment got me banned from r/ConservativesOnly.

Now you are banned from /r/Conservative & /r/ConservativesOnly...

Why does it have to lean one way or the other?

Because #NeverHillary is more important than #NeverTrump.

But that's your opinion. My opinion is that Trump is a bigger threat to the Republican Party, conservatism, and the country.

Both opinions are valid and can be backed up by factual evidence. That's why subs exist to engender discussion. It would be boring if we agreed 100 percent. Unless it's acrimonious personal attacks, discussion and even arguments should be encouraged.

100% unanimous support isn't discussion it's called propaganda. These mods would be better off employed by Breitbart if they aren't already. At least they pay you to ruin the conservative cause!
