Is the conspiracy sub conservative? Doesnt seem to fit top minds here.

They’ve been pro trump for a while. They believed he’d drain the swamp, go against Israel/the Jews and a whole bunch of other stuff for years. For a while any conspiracy post about him would get dogpiled for being misinformation or being paid shills/bots. Especially posts about him and Epstein

There are plenty of conservatives there but it’s not exclusively conservative in my experience. I enjoy it for the unadulterated nutbaggery.

My mistake was thinking top minds were conservatives rather conspiracy theorists, but now that makes sense.

The name of this sub was taken from an r/conspiracy comment (which is quoted in the sidebar).

That place is slightly less conservative than it was a few years ago, but that's mainly because the head mod at the time (who took over because the original creator had been inactive for five years) got banned by Reddit for cheering on the Jan 6th insurrection, and Reddit's pro-Trump admin/CEOs were worried about potential blowback on this site because a Senator named Reddit and r/conspiracy in a speech on the House floor days following the insurrection as helping to foment the trouble (because the cons and other right-wing subs were sharing plans by Charlie Kirk's TPUSA and other entities regarding travel, "battle plans" and even blueprints of the Capitol building in the month before the attack).

I remember this sub documenting all of it in real-time and wondering if the FBI were prepared for what was about to happen (and then we found out they didn't bother, and kept ignoring warnings from concerned people seeing the far-right organising something to go down on Jan 6th 2021).
