Apologies for the ‘eye-popping’ in the headline.

    I honestly find it a little hard to believe, I’d want to see proof these people are actually libs. Voting records, preferably, or them arguing for liberal positions with sensible arguments that we would actually say.

    It’s not like trolls don’t pretend to be other things, just for funsies. Or to try to make a point.

      It’s all fake is my guess. Neither party is either thing you are claiming to be. Kink play is just cops and robbers with your pants off.

      I mean, humiliation kink is about social humiliation in part, I think. I can definitely see liberals living in conservative areas feeling shame and then using kink to ‘burn off’ that shame.

        I’m not completely discounting it, just wishing for proof. I do know for certain, one thing that happens sometimes, though… And that’s just a conservative claiming to be a liberal on the internet.

        It’s just an efficient way to make us look bad, by sockpuppeting one of us basically. Kinda like how we’ve probably got malicious state actors sockpuppeting all of our most extreme political positions, just to help spark larger numbers of misunderstandings.
