I thought this was supposed to be an "anti-cancel culture" site but apparently praising the immortal science of Marxism-Leninism and wishing happy 100th birthday to the Communist Party of China is a bannable offense

    “it” is stuff that’s so far out in left field that even a lot of mainstream conservatives will call bullshit

    The very fact that you're regurgitating Reagan-Era conservative propaganda should signal that this is false hope.

    Give that seedier element red meat. I’d rather they talk about stuff that’s embarrassing than talk about more popular conservative tropes (anti-immigration, law and order, etc.)

    It's all joined at the hip. Anti-immigration is about keeping labor cheap and easy to exploit. There is no contradiction between sealing the US border against latin migrants and flying out to the Dominican Republic for underaged sex tourism. There is no contradiction between beefing up law enforcement and ghettoizing people of color.

    That way when some proto-chud wanders in there’s a higher chance they’ll nope out.

    How many proto-chuds noped out of 4chan?

    Hell, how many noped out of Parlor?

      I don't think child markets, sovereign citizen nonsense, and "do we really need an age of consent?" are representative of the Reagan era. Those can be hot-button issues even among conservatives, and they certainly have never been mainstream Republican policy positions.

      There is no contradiction between sealing the US border against latin migrants and flying out to the Dominican Republic for underaged sex tourism.

      The vast majority of conservatives will agree on immigration, but you'll get divisions on something like underaged sex tourism. See the "uhh I don't remember any of that" interview with Tucker Carlson and Matt Gaetz. Some of this stuff is not palatable in the mainstream.

      As for proto-chuds noping out of places, there's no good way to estimate numbers, but some do. Hell, you can find people around here who'll talk about how they went through a libertarian phase, or were straight-up chuds at one point. Also worth considering is that a lot of people are "cultural conservatives" -- they don't really think to much about politics, but they grew up in a Republican household -- and those folks might be split off more easily than someone who's super invested but not especially deep in yet.
