X is the only online social media that has healthy(and unhealthy) political discussions; with both sides available for discussion. Reddit, bluesky, mastodon, etc banned conservatives off the site. Gab, truth social, etc banned liberals. You cant have political discussions if you are an echo chamber of only 1 viewpoint.

That's something newer to politics in general. I call it the jon stewart consequence.
He was aiming for a laugh; he's not engaged in healthy political discussions but his popularity spilled into political discussions; he'd take a video out of context, make a jab, make funny face, force the audience to laugh, and then bring on a guest that agrees with him to confirm everything he thinks.
Now liberals are essentially mimicking him. It's about dunking on the dumbest conservatives. Those who arent dumb, they are nazis.
But then conservatives do it as well; we're all humans and sometimes we say or think dumb things.
