Probably don't see as much conservative minded stuff because the majority of users here are not conservative. Just a thought.

Acts like a clown? No, moreso acts like the kid at school that acted tough, lied about their accomplishments, and thought they could get away with anything because his mommy and daddy were rich. That's why he gets dunked on a lot, because we all knew someone like that in elementary school. Trump just never grew out of it.

Things have gotten more polarized, yea, but honestly looking back at older stuff it was inevitable. For years fox news and conservative media pushed this idea that if you weren't republican, you were a commy aka not patriotic or American. I'd know, I grew up with a hyper conservative, O'Reilly loving, faux "news" gorging step father who believed that CNN stood for communist news network and that even the most conservative of Dems were secret USSR lovers. Not all conservatives are that bad, probably not even most, but the places they got their news from definitely pushed that narrative, polarizing them to a specific bias heavily. Conservative media for years has slowly been moving further rightward with it's rhetoric both on social and economic issues, which is sad because honestly I can see that deep down there is a point to all of it even if I don't fully agree, but that point has been lost.
