I also see the comments on those posts trying to downplay and deflect. Other political posts make it through just fine. Anything mentioning Elron gets insta flagged. It is the same exact behavior we so with anything even remotely critical of Israel.

I didn't say you were MAGA, nor did I say that all people flagging are MAGA. I have flagged plenty of stories that were about to or already descended into a toxic mess.

These stories are getting flagged with zero comments, and when unflagged, go on to have interesting conversations.

Flagging is not a solution for seeing stories you are not interested in. Downvoting is.

You know full well that any evidence one is going to have is circumstantial. It is a coy way of saying, "you have no concrete evidence, shutup until you do".

Kind of. I was saying that "our MAGA supporting members are brigading any story that puts the limited operation in a bad light" is an accusation of bad faith by the downvoters. Such an accusation is in fact the kind of thing where you should shut up until you have evidence.

"Assume good faith" is part of the site guidelines, after all.

For comments. For stories, flagging is all you can do.

Also note that I am not the downvoter of these stories. I just don't think that everyone who does can be lumped into your "MAGA supporting" category.
