Unfortunately there isn't really anywhere else where facts are not censored, shadow-banned, or shilled into oblivion. For instance, pre-election, I made an entirely 100% truthful meaningful comment on this site, a story about a Wikileaks email dump, I pasted several links directly to the Wikileaks DKIM verified emails for reference. I had a dozen or so up-votes, then stopped receiving replies. I posted on the other similar story which was very hot, and received no votes in either direction, nor any responses. Upon logging out, realized I had been shadow-banned. Ten or so posts appeared on inline on the stories, but every single thing I typed, would only show up if I was logged in.
After searching everywhere for rules, or anyone anywhere mentioning that hn shadow-bans dissent, or shadow-bans anything for that matter; I emailed hn. I received a reply saying that I was indeed shadow-banned, however, it was in response to a comment I made 300 days prior. In summary I comment with facts and sources in a respectful passive manner in response to a fallacious top comment, get up-voted, and then shadow-banned 15 minutes later for that comment, and everything subsequent, but because of a comment I made 300 days prior. #FreeSpeech
Edit: r/the_donald might be the place for you. Although, some aren't yet mentally equipped to make such a leap in just a single stride.
