Wtf is happening in this community. Has it been coopted by right wing trolls?

Like, downvote me, but give me a straight answer too.

US election year means a lot of political memes to try to make each side look more popular than it actually is. If you can fake grassroots support, that helps a lot for the election.

Also, OP is a < 1 day old account.

There are likely thousands of people being hired and paid to do just this right now

Both are trash imo.

Appreciate it being current affairs, but there's been a visible shift in the lean of the content on this sub past few days

The 1 day old account speaks to that.

Sadder meme than usual. Which is saying something.

I love people taking sides on politicians like any of them cares about people’s lives and not just some stakeholders pulling the strings . Does not matter if you are right or left wing, have fun. Democracy is a fairytale and the differences of opinion you might have does not make you enemies. There is no right or left, it’s all disguised feudalism and part of what’s keeping it working is dividing us, tear us apart and make us feel like the people who support the other side are bad people. Everyone wants what they think is best for the general population, both sides have good and bad points. Don’t let politicians fool you!
