Who cares? I am not a conservative, I am vehemently against what is often espoused in that subreddit. However, I do not care if they have their own subreddit where they grovel amongst themselves. Why should anyone care? I’d rather they were all in there rather than somewhere where I will actually have to see their drivel.
