Sure, there are always outliers and you can correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s just the overall impression I have.

(I wasn’t sure if !asklemmy@lemmy.world or this community would fit better for this kind of question, but I assume it fits here.)

    Right on, dude. It would be refreshing to see right-wing arguments advocating a serious fact-based (instead of hate-based and/or lie-based) position on any issue. I’d still disagree, but I’d welcome that disagreement.

    Until that glorious future when “the right will reconnect with reality, integrity and simple decency,” I am delighted that they’re underrepresented on Lemmy.

      Thing is you never will see that here. Even if those people are here (more reasonable right wing people are here in fact), they speak up less (typically once, before they learn what this place is) because the second you say “actually I don’t want to murder all landlords, my old landlady is so nice, she baked us brownies and let us put on illegal punk shows in the basement” you’re called a literal nazi that deserves death for having compassion for a nice old woman. So all you see are the ardent conservatives that are here to fight, not the reasonable ones that learn to just roll their eyes and block anyone with an @hexbear uname to save themselves the trouble.
