    The difference being when conservatives say it, 99.999% of the time we see the actual reason they were banned was for saying something like “it sure would be unfortunate if someone accidentally dropped an axe on Nancy Pelosi’s head haha XD” as a figure with wide reach, or something similarly egregious.

    Show me something similar happening here and I will also not take their complaints seriously.

      I’m not even a conservative and I’ve been banned for just having unpopular opinions, not threats, racism, etc. What you’re saying is just a convenient heuristic so you don’t have to think.

        Do you have any example of an “unpopular opinion” that has gotten you banned or any conservative banned? Also, probably the biggest reason I could see conservatives feeling like they’re being “silenced” is because half of their platform is based on being racist(sometimes unintentionally), anti-lgbtq, etc.
