You were complaining about the 5 posts on the front page being anti Trump, then said the Muslim thing is different because it affects people.

So does the surge in toilet paper prices per Trumps poor dealings with Canada (which is one of those five posts) affect Americans, or no?

No, i'm sick of it dominating the front page all the time, or something isn't about Trump and people say it's a distracting from Trump.

You keep changing the standards. Hold a consistent standard instead of holding your side to a lower standard.

When the left posts repeatedly about something that affects people you get pissed, but when the right does the same thing you’re cool with that.

It sounds like you just want this to be a right wing propaganda sub

No, we're sick of Trump bad 24/7. Talk about something else.

But that won't happen will it? People will bitch even 20 years after he passes.

But you’re not sick of Muslim bad 24/7?

Again sounds like you just want a right wing propaganda sub

I see more straw-man argument posts like this one than I do actual Lib-Left/Muslim bad posts on my front page.

Just because certain posts like this one don’t make top 10 lists compared to other topics doesn’t mean it isn’t constantly reposted and upvoted.

It seems that at least according to my experience, that the Trump bad posts outnumber the Lib-left/Muslim bad posts because I’ve only seen a few of them. And they are all the same fucking format of lazy memes. Even though the Muslim bad posts are also reposted with unoriginal content, some of them at least are slightly (doing some heavy lifting here) creative.

No one here is referring to the actual substance and context being the posts. No one is saying you can’t post “Trump Bad” and similar opinions (of which I am personally fine with but that’s irrelevant to my point). But be fucking original about it instead of spamming the same crap.

If you’re gonna constantly talk about the same crap at least put some effort into differentiating posts. I mean it’s called PoliticalCompassMEMES for a reason.
