I don’t have much of a problem either way as I don’t think I’ll be engaging in political discussion on this website past this post but it seems like any sort of non-left wing opinions or posts are immediately trashed on here. That’s fine. There’s clearly a more liberal audience here and that’s okay. I just don’t want Lemmy to become a echo chamber for any side and it seems to be that way when it comes to politics already.

Mostly making this post just to drum up discussion as I’m new here.

Edit: Thanks for the rational replies. I was expecting to get lit up for even mentioning this topic lol.

    Wrapping “lower tax for business” in the culture war business is something done by the right-wing media and major political parties themselves(mainly using it as a guise to hide behind hateful policy)…

    Jumping to conclusions on someone who just says they are conservative is a form of prejudice just like any kind of stereotyping.

    However, as soon as they bring stuff up that indicates they care a lot about what people do in the bedroom, bathroom or they characterize a lot of what they don’t like as woke, the room for productive discussion narrows significantly.
