A subreddit that started as a critique of broad “doomerism,” wrapped in smug, Reddit-style “enlightened centrism,” has largely turned into a safe space for center-right conservatives and post-Jan ’25 regretful Trump voters.
While it still occasionally mocks obvious right-wing excesses, it now mostly functions as a circlejerk that dismisses criticism of Trump 2.0 as hysterical “doomer” talk—an increasingly shaky stance as the administration’s popularity declines.
Its core argument boils down to: the left is technically correct about Trump’s actions, but they’re “not that bad” and overblown as apocalyptic. In reality, Republicans appear headed for major electoral losses, and most liberals are relatively optimistic about the future.
The subreddit will likely see an exodus after upcoming election cycles; it may either rebalance or simply flip into the opposite extreme.
