Ron Paul was my red pill. I will forever be grateful.

Yes. I remember before Reddit got completely astroturfed. Now it’s unbearable, excluding a couple of niche hobby communities. Even then sometimes I still see “Evil Drumpf” garbage there. Sad!

Reddit is majorly compromised and in fact they sold ownership stake to CCP too. If tik tok should catch a van then so should Reddit

I’m all for free speech but it’s amazing how Reddit is being used to brainwash millions of American kids into believing gender bullshit and a lot of other degenerate liberal fetishes

I think another big thing that happened and majorly changed the demographics of the users was Tumblr banning nudity because of all the CP. Before that the average redditor would make fun of the people on Tumblr with their million genders and other retarded bullshit, but after that I think a lot of them migrated over and changed the popular narrative.

It is not a coincidence that Redditors naturally gravitated to genuine populists Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders before being taken over by the CCP. It was amazing how quickly support dried up for each of them and how the uprooted started flooding in for people like Hillary. A real redpill moment for supporters of each of those two politicians, who would normally be on opposing sides.

I know Correct The Record were heavily involved for the 2016 election. I'm not sure if they never left or they just managed to tip the playing field heavily (with the help of the admins). I know there was some experimentation with allowing heavy censorship (notably the bitcoin sub went heavily tyrant with mass bannings and heavy control of the narrative)

Yup. I used to read Thedonald there as well as Aww,which I loved. Some idiots looked at my posting history and attacked me on the cute animal forum. I hope none of them actually have animals.

They probably sick them on Trump dolls like Biden does with his dogs.

I rage quitters Reddit a few weeks ago. Deleted my account, which I had for like 9 years or something. Every single sub I still belonged to, which weren't many and had nothing to do with politics, was overrun by horrible people/posts. I used to really love Reddit. It's sad.

Then you've lost nothing and there is no reason to rage or be sad. Reddit was once a great site, but now it's garbage. Now you have TD.win and it's 10x better than reddit. Reddit has turned into a totally humorless shithole.

"No politics" means no pro-Trumpers.

Ask the mods. You can do that if you already have an existing audience.

Yeah in totally unrelated incidents, Reddit turned from appreciating Ron Paul to cucking towards leftism ... and right around the time, they got acquired by a Chinese CCP company...

The /r/politics overnight flip was truly something else to behold.

When Ron left the Libertarian Party was a major moment for me.

He was Trump with less bite...definitely just a tad ahead of his time- but the public was thirsty for it

Ron Paul is the living proof that Trump was the only way. We gave them a chance to play fair and be principled, and they fucked us. Never again.

Looking back, you could see how they treated Ron the same way they treated Trump when he was running. Labeled him "crazy" and that his ideas were "ridiculous." Truth is, he was an outsider that threatened their little corrupt, self protected system so they gave him the treatment. Trump was the first time we saw it go as far as it could to try and stop him.

Yup. Same with Bernie, but it was way worse with Ron Paul, cuz there was no one in the media to defend him; Fox was one of the worst ones in censoring him. Ron blazed the trail, but Trump has withstood things Ron Paul never could, and has basically been the president Ron would have been.

I wish I was red pilled back then, but I was one of those young twenty year old, low information voters that voted for Obama.
