Trump has a loyal hardcore, but he is absolutely bleeding supporters around the edges. If you follow the US right many of them are pledging to vote democrat in the midterms as a protest.

I noticed a wave of that right as trump declared war (declared conflict, whatever), people going "I voted for no new wars," but I noticed on /r/conservative that the takes quickly gave way to sudden concern about Iran's nuclear capability as the propaganda mills got their fodder in order.

Who moderates /r/conservative? Whenever I drop into old subreddits these days the whole place feels very astro-turfed. High chance that it's modded by zionists, they have a lot of money and a lot of different organisations that hire full time people to "fight disinformation".

The Myth of the All-Powerful Israel Lobby

Not an argument.

Between

- ADL

- StandWithUs

- AIPAC

- Zionist Organization of America

- Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism

- Act.IL / RiseAPP

- Israel Hub

and more, there's enough resources to get Their People into moderator positions at /r/conservative.

Those Zionists are everywhere.

They didn't make it into the Jewish Council of Australia: https://www.jewishcouncil.com.au/who-we-are

... but there's certainly no shortage of Zionist pressure and lobby groups wanting leverage and influence.

Yes, I've noticed.

There is only one reason for us to give a damn about Israel other than religious fervor, and it's their technology and intelligence apparatus. They only care about us because we give them a lot of money and weapons, and apparently will follow them into their Leeroy Jenkins war and do the heavy lifting.

They're committing a genocide and now are ethnically cleansing Lebanon of Muslims under the cover of the Iran War. Their government is not worthy of support.

That subreddit literally requires asking mods for permission to post threads and the flair that permits posting can and does often get revoked too. Its a "whitelist" subreddit so its astroturfed or filtered by definition.

So many hidden comments there

r/Conservative is, IMO, almost 100% guaranteed to be majority bots and the most hardcore admin apologists. They're a permanent safe space and often will delete even their own members' posts if they directly criticize the Leader.

Its only value is to see the desired responses from Fox News and the far-right media.

r/flairedusersonly needs mod permission to even post threads and they revoke that permission happily too. They are the party of free speech remember. Everything is "outside users" to them, everybody is a liberal in disguise.
