I don’t think that there is so much of a liberal bias here as the conservatives have gotten more and more extreme in their views as they desperately try to retain power.
It’s hard to defend an ideology with members who say things like this -
"Republican gubernatorial candidate in Oklahoma proposed euthanasia for people on food stamps who are too disabled to work.
In a Facebook post made by a page purporting to be for OK governor candidate Christopher Barnett, the administrator initially posted a poll about food stamp requirements — and then made comments claiming euthanasia is a solution to the “issue” of the poor and disabled.”

Those who were very outspoken against liberals (to the point of saying that they should be put to death) constantly ignored the facts presented to them and instead just insulted people.
They were not trying to change the mind(s) of anyone here or even make a factual point...they just liked to talk shit about those they blame for all the ills of the country instead of looking at our society as a whole and taking their own personal responsibility.
It’s much easier to have an “us vs them” mentality.
Such as Trump calling Mexicans “animals” recently.
He then tried to backtrack and say it only applied to the MS13 gang...but the thing is people don’t just picture them, they are dehumanized and that groups them together with illegal aliens, as well as those here legally...aka - you’re promoting racism and the dehumanization of an entire race.
But he’s done this with race, age, sex, attractiveness, religion, politics, monetary value, etc. so no big surprise.
There are probably more “liberals" on here because liberals support more feeling ideals than their counterparts.
Doesn’t mean they are more or less correct, just that the thinking style is not the same.
Such as universal healthcare...the social safety net...food stamps...helping the poor...helping refugees...peace over war...people over profits.
Not that all conservatively minded folks don’t care about such things, but the priority of them being addressed and the depth of addressing them and how they are addressed can vary by great swaths.
