I've thought this for quite some time. I say it now because of what I observed on r/the_donald and here over the course of the last 24rs.
The entire day yesterday I spent all day watching r/the_donald and voat news explain, in detail, how obvious the false flag was and how we, the people who voted for him anyways, voted for him NOT to go to war. Within half an hour of the strikes it was painfully obvious what the new "Trump supporter" narrative was going to be. You got called a pussy or a snowflake for saying this bothered you, and there were calls for you to get banned from the Donald. It was clearly designed as far as I can tell.
I'm a Trump supporter btw, but 50% of the reason I voted for him was to avoid exactly what he just did in Syria. I can't find anywhere to express and discuss this without it being derailed by exactly the same tactics that sahriablue use.

I know what you mean, I'm a trump supporter too and got called a shill for not wanting to go to war, but this was on Voat.
What the fuck, Voat?

I know at least on r/the_donald I've been banned for saying things that aren't even anti-Trump, but anti- "the agenda" I'll call it. I had even made the front page several times in the primary and still got banned for pointing out some truths about our wars in the middle east. Made me realize that place isn't the beacon of free speech they claim to be. And I think the same thing happened here last night. The 180 degree turn around on a dime was just too methodical for it not to be obvious.

You're right, but I think you should give them credit for admitting they're a echo-chamber, plus I heard it's pretty easy to get unbanned, just gotta ask the mods... unless they don't wanna listen.

It's not easy, and they never want to listen.
