I just feel like it's taken on a more partisan Republican slant than a conservative slant lately if that makes sense. I used to appreciate that even though it is certainly a conservative site, there was always a pretty solid foundation of objectivity, but that has been lacking as of late. It seems like posters there are increasingly eager to jump on anything that makes Democrats look bad, reality be damned. Like, does anyone really think that the sister-in-law of a congressional candidate making a joke in poor taste about Trump's attempted assassination will change anything? Maybe I've just been checking in on bad days, or I'm misremembering how things were years ago.

As I said, there's a couple bad actors. And tensions do get higher as we approach election day, that happens here too. In fact, can you imagine if we had as many Republicans here as they have Democrats over there? They would not be nearly as welcomed here as we have been there. It's unfortunate, but the reality.

I am not the site owner, but Republican view points on here would be fine with me, as long as there was actual debate instead of assholery(I find that the current Republican party is an increasingly angry group that refuses any honest, open debate)

I wouldn't welcome policy debates from a Republican point of view, but I did and would welcome campaign and election analysis from a Republican point of view that is not trollish. We used to have folks who did that on Swing State Project.

We did. Those exact folks are the founders / moderators at RRH. It's the same 5ish guys

I would welcome either, but like I said, not the site owner(respect your take though)

100% - honest, good-faith R electoral views would be very welcome here from my perspective...
