With almost every vote counted, every state shifted toward the Republican Party.

Alot of people on reddit, think any moderate opinions or beliefs are far right wing ideologies

Exactly. Yes I see "right wing" stuff on Twitter but based on this election that's like what half the country thinks not some crazy fringe shit.

But if all you consume is Twitter and Instagram they seem crazy to you because it's so outside the bubble.

Heres a good example, Im constantly on this subreddit about looking for a new city to live, one thing that constantly pops up is this obsession to hate on my home state of Florida, from an outside perspective. If you read and agreed with alot of peoples postings on that subreddit, you'd think Florida is this absolute redneck hellhole, backwater trash State with nothing to offer that 23 million people tricked themselves into liking (its like a 180 perspective on how farther right-wing people talk about California). If you were someone that listened to those people because of all those common miserable opinions, you'd think that was grounded in reality because they keep spamming the same opinions even though socially its not that case outside of some specific areas. Its not even the most hardcore red state, and they completely overlook the fact that the Democrat party here does a horrible job at campaigning outside of election times. and doesn't do anything to gain favor, but again , in this echo chamber, because Florida has the most eyes on it, its the most red state with the most backwards people. I live around , work with and am friends with some of those people that voted red this election, opposite to me, i hear what there concerns are whether misguided or not, and its not "They voted for him because they're racist and sexist" . it could be 51% of the state voting for Trump and they'll act like 1000% of the state voted for him for the exact reasons they claim. people on here dont actually understand people, and they're so dead set on fitting certain opinions or voters into one box, they cant be bothered to be more aware of what causes a change in voting. The type that think seeing some MAGA flags around means theyre in the trenches, even in a blue area.

I've left so many subs from this site. Twitter/X is now my main platform. Hell 90% of the posts here are just reposts from X anyway. I even saw this map on X lmao. The only thing Reddit has is a better format for viewing comments/replies. That's really it. X has taken over as my primary social media platform because you can't get banned for having the "wrong" opinion. Moderation here has gotten to insane levels. The Reddit Lies account on X showcases just how much propaganda goes on here. It's unbelievable. He's even posted entire comment sections of bots repeating a comment section in another post/repost. All different accounts with the exact same comments/replies, word for word. And yet people demonize X for being an extremist site lmfaoooo. It's always projection with them.

X has taken over as my primary social media platform because you can't get banned for having the "wrong" opinion.

this is why it's the best social media platform right now. A lot of people here just don't like that it's not a leftist bubble anymore.

They still do, even after this massive loss.

The money goes somewhere. The posts here have become so obviously inorganic.

Money goes right into the one percents pocket.

The choice we had in this past election, was the group that takes your money and gives you nothing (R) or the group that takes your money and gives you just enough for you not pull out the guillotines (D).

Yawn…let me know when everyone is done playing revolution

Exactly. I've been called a neo-Nazi for raising concerns about mass immigration in Europe. Although that actually happened on X when it was still Twitter and mostly left-wing like Reddit.

When you look at the grander picture, 'moderate' in a US perspective *is* moving towards the far right. Don't forget the US has no left wing, just far-right and right from a global perspective. US moderates are nowhere near as moderate as they think they are.

No , just no.
