    It’s always a weird flavor, too. Like “I’m communist but only if I get all the wealth. Also I hate minorities but love the LGBT.”

    For some reason it just makes me think of Dennis on 30 Rock. “Fiscally liberal, socially conservative.”

      Where did you see that?

        It’s a bit of hyperbole, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear aren’t far off.

        A lot of their users believe that Russia is a communist state, not some crony capitalist society that would make Bezos blush. They also seem to really love Trump for some reason.

      I’ve never seen anything remotely like this. Can you point to a single example? Implying that it’s not only present, but always the norm is a huge stretch in my experience.

      The absolute closest would be CPC support from Hexbear, but I haven’t seen any racism or claims that they should get all the wealth.

      Can you point to a single comment that said this? Doesn’t even need to be from Hexbear or Lemmygrad, just in general.
