Okay I just watched that clip of Donald Trump leaving that interview.Politics aside, why does this guy come across as such a baby?
Honestly honestly - do people think at all that he comes off as tough or cool?
A to your Q: Because he's a 300lbs maninfant who always has to have his way.

He really lives rent free in their heads.
Anti-Trump and Anti-GOP.
It's complete garbage at this point. You can't even criticize the disinformation or you'll be downvoted and yelled out. Why does that matter? If you're downvoted, you can't respond to people. Making it an echo-chamber.
Why not go to a place that has differing opinions? Seems better. I want difference in thought. Not echo-chambers.

Thought chambers where poor critical thinking and media headlines drive hysteria.

Indeed.
I've watched the YouTube vids where the talking heads go to the Trump protests and ask for people to voice out their thoughts on why they hate Trump.
It's just garbage falsehoods. Not even nuanced: just plain lies. These people have been so indoctrinated that there is 0 critical thinking. There's none. They don't even fact check their talking points. Pure idiocy.
They don't even go for the low-hanging fruit like Trump continuing our military campaigns, killing innocent brown people including children. That's like the easiest criticism you can levy against Trump because Trump ran on a campaign that criticized Obama for Obama's murderous military campaigns. Nope. Nary a coherent, factually correct thought.

How is that any different than here?
For the most part, I only see the idiotic propaganda and talking points from my fellow leftists. This place is largely not an echo-chamber outside of the TDS suffering leftists on this site.
And part of me thinks they just do it to troll.

Over there, if you say anything outside the narrative, you're downvoted into oblivion and possibly banned.
You will get auto-banned from the BLM subreddit if you've posted on the conservative subreddit.
Yes, automods are scripted to auto-ban. Even if you posted to conservative to criticize a talking point, doesn't matter.
If that's not some echo-chambery stuff, I don't know what is.
Even the content posted to "watch reddit die", which criticizes this exact stuff, gets curated. It's kind of creepy. It is 100% the 1984 situation.
Edit - I was part of reddit before they started cleaning up. Then they cleaned up, banning the creepshots sub and the creeping on kids subs (that was a good thing). Reddit needed to clean up those subs to go mainstream. But then...they just kept cleaning up. More and more. It's like that person with OCD who keeps scrubbing their arms and they scrub for too long, start bleeding, and they just keep going and going. That's where reddit is, now. They let the pendulum swing way too far to the left and it is an atrocious cesspool.
It is just a Democratic Party and Labour Party propaganda machine, at this point.

Damn they really can't stand anyone with opposing views.
Why do you think conservatives are able to deal with opposing views so much better than those on the left? This wasn't always the case, but it has been as of the last few years at least.
I am now on Ruqqus and I enjoy it. However, it gets the the Stupid Anti-Jew stuff, every now and again.
I've been called a k*kef*ggot a couple of times by the edgelords. But, for the most part, no real crazy stuff.
Ruqqus needs more leftists, though. Even the right-wingers on that site are asking for more leftists to join because they don't want to become another voat.

They're banning people for simply liking posts on their own site.
Their explanation is that you're upvoting posts that violate their TOS.
They also auto ban you from subreddits if you post in different subreddit.
I consider it a badge of honor if I'm not welcome in r/politics or r/feminism.
Edit: Just checked out Ruqqus, may have to sign up.

This is a good way to mobilize a base.
Their house, their rules I guess. They'll just end up moving somewhere else.
