CMV: Convincing TD users to grow up and act like Adults is like convincing Kim Jong Un, he isn’t all that great. (Obviously he isn’t).
From what I have seen of Td users and their posting and comment history, all I can see is immaturity and cancerous behaviors.
Comments like “ Stupid Libtard, you rekt reeee”
“You guys are just mad about losing the election”
“Britain is the deep state swamp.”
“Britain is trying to overthrow Trump with a fake dossier”.
And other disparaging remarks about people.
(There is also the whole they believe opinionist and opinion pieces more than actual news articles)
I have also heard that they tried to dox people and it almost got them banned as a sub or something like that.
But it seems that no matter what I’m tell them even with facts, I only get responses I would expect from a 10th grader .
Just so we are clear, I have met a few TD users who talk like normal fucking people. But my post is more centered around the TD users who will make like 100 different accounts to get past a ban on a other sub or will purposely omit certain details and act like ass saying “Oh Mueller needs to end the investigation because he is wasting tax payer money”, despite the fact the money he uses is equal to 1-2 of Trump’s weekend golf trips and was money that would have been used anyways.
But most of the behavior I see leads me to believe that, I can should show evidence of Trump doing something that looks very bad and I would get an immature response like “so what?”.
It’s no different than trying to convince Un that he isn’t all that great. He doesn’t want to grow up and act like an adult. He wants to act like a child and not be convinced that his country as a government is a shithole.
Same thing goes with Td users on here. They don’t want to be convinced. They want to shout stupid shit like “Hur Hur, Drumpf is being impeached”. Or “ This will end the investigation.” For the 50th time. Or just stupid shit I expect from people with tons of psychologically problems.
Again, like I said, not all TD users are like this. But it seems a decent majority of them are. .

Is this really different from how liberals act?
I went over to r/politics, the closest thing to an equivalent to T_D on reddit, and looked at the top post sorted by 'hot' over there. The title is "After weeks of uncertainty, Papadopoulos decides to accept plea deal with Mueller", clearly trying to push a left-wing narrative. Among the top comments: "Looks like the Cohen flip has all of the rats headed for lifeboats. Womp womp.", "Cans someone TLDR the last couple months with this ass-clown for me?", "<Always Sunny Theme> 'George Goes to Jail'", "Flip, flip, flipadopoulos!", "I hope someone slapped this fool upside his head", "This is the first stage of the endgame.", "Lol well no shit. He was taking advice from his dumbass wife.", and "So we know Papadopoulos is coopodoperating. The question remains, was Papadopoulos collubadoobading?".
I'm not saying that that last one wasn't funny, in fact I agree with the reply, which said "take your updootopulos and get out". It's still pretty immature, even if it is funny. And it might give you a bit of sympathy for some of the humor you find on T_D, even if you still disagree with it. A lot of the obnoxiousness of T_D is an overt attempt to be funny on the internet, whether it succeeds or fails. Immaturity is not really a flaw in comedy.
The second post in r/politics was titled "Beyer On IG Revelations Of Trump’s Involvement In FBI Headquarters Decision: “This Looks Like A Cover-Up”". Among the top comments: "Fuck Trey Gowdy with a red-hot poker.", "100% of all people who still support trump are dog shit.", "Congress needs to act fast and impeach this corrupt Orangutan of a president", and "I'm envisioning a day in the future, a national holiday, a 4 day weekend called DTS Day. Officially, it will be Donald Trump Surrenders Day, but we'll always call it Drain The Swamp Day. We'll celebrate with fireworks and cheetos. Napkins and tablecloths printed with golden turds and tiny hands grabbing prison bars."
The first post had 24.7k upvotes and 1344 comments, and the second had 32.6k upvotes and 2126 comments. I only quoted from top level comments, except for the "updootopulos" one, and I certainly didn't go through all the top level comments.
Would that really be an immature response? One that you disagree with, sure, but is it immature?
There are things that Trump has done that are not problems, like the two scoops of ice cream thing, or things that are problems on a moral level, but not on a national leadership level, like the alleged affairs. Isn't the proper response to these things "so what"?
I’ll give you that politics leans heavily left but do you really think r/politics is the closest thing to T_D? Their second sticky is trump pissing on a google level and the tag on the top post is tagged as “Not Safe For Cucks”.
I suppose I haven’t dug and maybe there isn’t a liberal version of t_d that exists but it seems extreme to pretend r/politics is even close.
Td users firmly believe that their sub is what it is because all the rest of Reddit was in such extreme opposition of Trump and vitriolic towards anyone who showed support for him. So they made their sub, made it exclusive for Trump supporters, and amped up the vitriol times 10,000 for satire. Anywhere else on Reddit, their views would be buried in downvotes. Hence their goal getting their posts to constantly hit the front page. In their eyes, all the rest of Reddit is the liberal version of td.
Now, I'm a liberal, but I would say I'm probably half in agreement with that. And I think the commenter you're responding to hit the nail on the head with their comment, even if we can nitpick this minor detail about which sub is most equivalent.
If there's something closer, it would have to be much smaller than r/politics or T_D, which would make it rather different from both of them. r/politics has 72k users online at the moment and T_D has 21k.
What's important to the comparison is that you get the same sort of obnoxious, mocking, snarky top level comments, like the ones I gave examples for. I don't think you find the same thing on random political subs.
