I had hope that this community would be a place where free thinkers would congregate and have open discussions about political issues. But at first glance it looks like a exact copy of r/politics. I lean left on the political scale but the constant republican/trump bashing is tiresome. Seems like this community has succumbed to the same fate. If I wanted heavy bias, I would just watch any major news station. Any suggestions on communities that discuss politics as a whole? Perhaps with an observatory viewpoint rather than a partisan one.
Because the Republicans are aggressively pushing this tribal culture war and it never should get normalized. They deserve to get called out on it.

No, it’s not. You’re not an enlightened tolerant and rational human being by claiming both sides are equally at fault.
Just one example: I’d agree with you, if both sides would make equally as many false claims. But that’s not the case..
It’s not “Only your side is bad and my side is good”. There ARE liars on both sides. But that shouldn’t lead to the conclusion that both sides are telling equally as much lies.
Why is that so important? Because you would totally miss out on the rhetorical tactics they use to push their agenda. Take Trump’s caravan, Hunter’s laptop, false election claims. All of them were lies, but had a massive impact. Show me equally as bad examples the Democrats use to push their narrative.
Also, you can check, if you are open minded or not with the help of something called falsifiability. Ask yourself:
I dont know if you were triggered or just needed to vent, but could you please stay on topic.
