View submission: The Backlash against /r/Conspiracy is hilarious, here is why.
Look how the admins won't let the_donald link to /politics but they let dozens of drama subs and "I hate this sub" subs constantly troll subreddits that aren't as precious to them as their dear /politics.
^ why is this relevant to r/conspiracy? Oh thats right all you asshats from T_D decided to commandeer as many small fringe subs as possible, ruining all of the communities you tried to astroturf, and now you have the gall to bitch about reddit not tolerating your pro-trump propaganda.
Let this sub go back to criticizing government, and im sure r/all will go nack to not giving a shit about r/conspiracy

Firstly, I existed before the_donald and I hated the MSM before the_donald existed. This is not a subreddit subservient to the_donald.
Secondly, everyone can plainly see that the government is basically in revolt against POTUS Trump, the intelligence agencies, the Republican party, the Democratic party, the deep state, the media etc etc. So pretending like Trump represents the entire government and everything wrong about it is naive or disingenuous.
It's not hard to imagine why many people in this sub (regulars) would have some hope about Trump considering that we have been critical of all these groups who are trying to undo Trump. All this existed before the_donald, so again we aren't a subreddit subservient to the_donald.
There is an obvious paradox here when supporting the government could mean you Support all these agencies who are rebelling against Trump or that supporting the government could mean you Support the current executive branch.
Denying that this paradox exist is fallacious. You must speak in more clear terms than "government bad". That being said, there is no rule against supporting the government here, in fact I think we all want a government. We just want a government with much less corruption! Preferably no corruption at all!
