The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

Comma separation implies a list of traits (users are both r/thedonald users and libertarian) whereas or/and would imply that libertarians and r/thedonald users both exist in the instance
Conservative/MAGA fits the majority of the content a lot better
Lol fair enough, thats true.
I honestly thought libertarian was the more flattering descriptor, but sure we can go with Conservative/MAGA
Yeah, so do they - that’s why they try to co-opt the term lol
Ok word. Yeah libertarians usually have some kind of rationale and principles while MAGA people are just walking memes that regurgitate spam.
Honestly most self-described right-libertarians are really differing levels of feudalists. With the uber-feudalists being the “anarcho-capitalists”. Which is the dumbest term ever but that’s not the point.
So I’m always very very suspicious of someone who says they are a libertarian…
I don’t necessarily disagree, but its helpful to remember that not everyone is at the same point in their intellectual progression. I tend to assume that libertarians haven’t really gotten into the weeds yet, and they could potentially be brought around to a more sophisticated understanding by discussion and reading more. Whereas MAGA I generally have no hope of getting through to them because they don’t even pretend to be rational.
