It's unbelievable how vocal the minority of conservatives on reddit have suddenly gotten in the one sub where a large demographic of important voters often interact. Hmmm. Coincidence?

Meanwhile on the r/JordanPeterson sub right now, there's a complaint about leftwing bots on r/millennials

...oh r/millennials says there's two subs... r/millennials and r/millenials with one n... Maybe that's part of what's going on.

Got called an llm arguing with a Trumper on one of those posts. On my 13 year old account. By his 3-month old account.

I just think it's incredible how many conservatives are completely willing to handwave pedophilia as long as it's their guy, bots or no.
