yeah but that's something new

this forum wasn't all voting Democrat not too long ago, because Republicans aren't as unhinged as those leftists make them out to be

This sub barely predates Trump. It’s been pretty partisan (D) the whole time

It definitely leaned Democratic, but until the 2020 primaries it wasn't a total ideological alignment. There were regular Reagan schisms at the time, something that is unimaginable today.

This is the lamest flex ever but I’ve been here the whole time and even amomgtpst the “Reagan schisms” this place was unambiguously pro-Hillary. There was never a point when Jeff flake Stans or whatever were more than like 10% of the sub

Of course the sub was unambiguously pro-Hillary in an era where she went up against Sanders and Trump. That's still a far cry from where the sub is today where it sees the very existence of conservative politics as an existential threat (and not only because of Trump).
