Back on Reddit there was a sub called "Unpopular Opinion" which, along with Ben Shapiro and Steven Crowder, was the extent of my "conservative" views/sources of info and discourse.

The one problem was that the only unpopular opinion you couldn't have was "The_Donald isn't racist". This seemed a contradiction. If the opinion is unpopular, why is it downvoted? Everyone clearly disagrees, so the opinion should be upvoted according to the goal, and rules, of the sub.

But it was always downvoted. I searched it and everyone got smacked with the "yes it is troll" and mass downvoted.

At first, I simply accepted it. "Well it's probably true. How could everyone be wrong about that on a sub with so many unorthodox views?" I was pretty much a "I may have conservative views but I don't follow the racist orange man, he's just crazy" conservative.

But eventually it started to get to me. Sometime after happening to watch a Trump rally on the news, and not seeing anything he said as the evil racist orange man nonsense, I wanted proof.

So of course when I checked T_D to find all the racists they were nowhere to be seen, and it was just a bunch of autists and meme warriors making shitposts with some info and discourse here and there.

r/UnpopularOpinion got real boring to me after finding T_D kek
