It's not an echo chamber but there is very little leeway given for someone who says anything critical, no matter how small, of Trump. Outside of that topic though there is a lot of open discussion.

wtf is this?

Kind of funny finding this posted in a thread about echo chambers, because anybody that believes it is spending too much time in one.

That topic does get addressed here - the relationships people have lost over politics in the past few years.

Okay. Generally speaking there may be some truth to that, but I read the post I responded to to mean this was uniquely or predominately something MAGA superfans are experiencing.

Do you think every poster would choose not to ban someone even if they could?


I’d unban everyone who has been banned.

You think he’s scheming with some secret plan to do this IF ONLY he dupes us into electing him to another term?

Me too. I'm an absolutist on free speech.

I've participated in these threads since 2020. While conservative, I have not been in lockstep with the clear majority that participate here, and it's not like I ever hold back - I enjoy the more heated exchanges. Not only have I never been banned, but I've never gotten any sort of "cool it" message from mods. You've got to be posting some pretty stupid shite to get the attention of the people running this site.

All new leftist posters are bots and paid trolls. This place gets spidered regularly so this is a good place for them to post. It gets back to their employers so they can get paid as well as getting pushed to google.

I've read this sort of thing pretty regularly the last few weeks. Is it a real thing? How much does someone get paid to frick around on PT?

Highly doubt it. But heaven forbid you have a different opinion around these parts.

I doubt there are any dem plants getting paid to post here but yes the Biden admin/harris campaign have supposedly paid social media influencers thousands of dollars a month. It’s really no different than affiliate marketing when people have x amount of followers where they can push a product , instead they have people spewing misinformation and attacking the opposition.

I don’t know if it qualifies as an echo chamber or not, but there are definitely people here who automatically dismiss and downvote any real criticism of Donald Trump. I don’t think anyone should be above criticism. Even though I will 100% vote for him, there are things that Trump can be fairly criticized on, but some here won’t accept that.

I have not seen this phenomenon. Have you have cut off “MAGA” family and friends?
