Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I guess, but it's certainly not a kink I ever expected.
I honestly find it a little hard to believe, I'd want to see proof these people are actually libs. Voting records, preferably, or them arguing for liberal positions with sensible arguments that we would actually say.
It's not like trolls don't pretend to be other things, just for funsies. Or to try to make a point.
It's all fake is my guess. Neither party is either thing you are claiming to be. Kink play is just cops and robbers with your pants off.
I mean, humiliation kink is about social humiliation in part, I think. I can definitely see liberals living in conservative areas feeling shame and then using kink to 'burn off' that shame.
I'm not completely discounting it, just wishing for proof. I do know for certain, one thing that happens sometimes, though... And that's just a conservative claiming to be a liberal on the internet.
It's just an efficient way to make us look bad, by sockpuppeting one of us basically. Kinda like how we've probably got malicious state actors sockpuppeting all of our most extreme political positions, just to help spark larger numbers of misunderstandings.
Being surrounded by conservatives makes me feel rage, not shame.
I mean, same, but I imagine it's different for some.
It's a kink I've seen on lemmy. Granted, its like one person who has like 3 communities of mostly themselves and one of which is specifically this kink. But seems like the type of thing that would mostly get lurkers anyways...
They're likely a conservative roleplaying as a liberal then. I can't imagine any actual liberal being into this kink with an actual conservative partner
I'd assume its more likely two non-conservatives, where one RPs as a conservative. Its kink. Who would think its about actual conservatives and actual liberals?
