I don’t read r/conservative much but what I’ve seen is they keep banning actual conservatives because they correctly call out what Trump is doing on things where it’s not about left and right but right and wrong.

Some people are saying that it could be coincidental. OP asks why would the two accounts who post so regularly just happen to both stop at the same time on that day.

    That kind of rhetoric got this republic to this point in the first place.

    curious what rhetoric you mean? they just pointed out that this looks like a conspiracy theory with tenuous evidence.

    the oop is attributing posting patterns changing on a US subreddit to a power outage in the middle of the night in some random city with 100k people in Russia, when it was also a holiday (Halloween) in the entire US.

    i don’t think that it is aggressive to point out that this is a silly correlation that is actually disinformation when framed this way - lots of people are going to just read the title, upvote, and move on with all their predisposed biases feeling confirmed

      You can be honest and say you have an agenda

      you’re trying to push

      just lay out the argument, I don’t have patience to read flamewar crap.
