    Ten years ago I was a bit Reddit commenter. I saw the left’s YouTube videos, I saw how all the subs there became echo chambers, banning anyone who dared have an opinion that wasn’t left of Stalingrad.

    I remember because the years ago I repeatedly warned people. Where do you think that these pretty normal people will go? They’ll go to more welcoming places like dat right fora, and get radicalized into the right.

    That is my accusation to the left: you fucked up badly by pushing out anyone who just wanted to have a conversation instead of agreeing without question.

    You pushed these people right into the camp of a then bumbling idiot who had some charisma and who tirelessly complained about these stupid leftist antics that they hated too, so they joined team trump.

    And here we are today.
