This entire community is becoming a shitshow.

      No one is sorting by top of all time when they casually browse the community. They’re sorting by hot, or something else restricted to a semi-recent time period.

    You’re in a community on a primarily LGBT instance. One of the most affluent and influential countries in the world has one of their two major political parties trying to declare that anyone who’s not cis, white, heterosexual is an aberration that needs to be purged.

    An attitude that is attempting to spread to other Western nations.

    Something which is either actively affecting, or will potentially effect, many of the members of this instance.

    So, uh, anyway… sorry for offending you, but if you don’t like things getting spicy then maybe this isn’t the place for you.

      Tell that to the hordes of people yelling why they won’t vote, despite all of this. Discussion with these people is like talking to a brick wall. I don’t think this community is appropriate for these exchanges.

        that could be part of the problem is you are engaging with the trolls

        trolls are there to straw man and be annoying. they get a kick out of every response. consider blocking them and reporting if their takes are bigoted enough.

          When almost every top-level comment is people saying this shit and almost every comment has a thread of people arguing over it, the problem is more than a handful of trolls. I think this community isn’t equipped to moderate threads that are primarily about US politics.

        You have been told to go. In a friendly manner.

        You ignored that and stayed to argue. Calling others a brick wall while being a brick wall.

        You are incredible.

      To be fair: Not purged, just sent to forced re-education camps where they beat the queer out of you with a $59.99 bible, in the name of a loving, tolerant god. But come on, who doesn’t love camp? Amirite?

    If you don’t want trans people dealing with politics then you should stop politics from dealing with trans people.

    I just sorted by hot, then sorted by top 24 hour and top 12 hour, and I don’t see what you’re talking about. None of the top 10 in any of these three sorts is about American politics
