    No, my complaint with what I致e seen around here so far is not with the fact that there are a lot of conservatives. It痴 with the lack of thoughtful discussion. The comments I see from the Trump/conservative side are largely ad hominem attacks on Democrats and Trump opponents without any real factual or logical support.
