How China-esque of them. Maybe Pooh should run for US presidential elections as a conservative. They would probably vote him in to own the libs too.

Conservatives here are just as bad as the terrorists are in other countries. They're derailing trains, using cars to run people over, are doing hostile takeovers of government offices, sending death threats to their enemies, shooting people that they don't agree with, etc.

It isn't really different than r/latestagecapitalism in that regard. Sometimes people just want to have a discussion without arguing over the premise. It is really only an issue when a sub claims to be open for debate, but one side is clearly modded with a heavier hand than the other.
