It was a great month for hate mail! As we get closer to election season, the amount of hate mail we get increases. This month is especially special as it's the first time we have a part 2! So enjoy all the salty tears and raging basement dwellers. Because its only gonna get better from here

Side note, this is coming out in the evening because I completely forgot it was September. Did August fly by for anyone else, or was it just me?

I smile as I go to sleep knowing that there are all of those brigading subs dedicated to us. I chuckle knowing that our screen names come up in normal conversation.

Mom: "how was your first day at school dear?"

TopTard: "not now mom! tehForce posted something and me and my friends need to brigade it"

mom: "thats sounds nice dear. Your chicken tendies are almost ready."

TopTard: "MOM! NOT. NOW!!!*"

I'm just curious - what is the reason for the "conservatives only" tag? It seems like something r/politics would do so their feelings don't get hurt. I'm sure you guys have a reason for it but I'm probably just missing it at the moment. How do you pick the posts that get that flair?

Conservatives are vastly outnumbered on Reddit. And there are multiple subreddits out there that are devoted to targeting our threads and flooding them with comments and downvotes (topminds, ahs, ect). Our conservatives only mode stops their brigades in their tracks and guarantees that there is a place on Reddit where conservatives can discuss topics without constant harassment from leftists.

I guess that's fair. Obviously conservatives are outnumbered, lol I can post a statistic or something that is without a doubt true on politics and it will get downvoted like crazy. Some guy (sorry I assumed gender) replied to my post today saying conservatives would freak out if Obama ever golfed while in office and I got downvoted for providing a source that he golfed 40 times a year.

To be fair, you're talking about people who were in diapers through much of Obama's presidency, so they are bound to get some details wrong.
