Bruh, OP’s post is about how conservatives have thick skin and cudos to them even though they almost all get downvoted. Then OP asks why that would be.

Theroux then says that the likely reason you are downvoted is because you aren’t welcome here. Now why would someone say that? Probably because they strongly disagree with you on xyz topics.

So just as I explained, downvotes are used to show that you disagree/disprove/dislike a particular conversation.

So again to summarize, I believe that yet again you are acting in bad faith by saying that I’m the one that brought up downvotes. Read OPs post and you’ll see they did several times. Theroux responded to OP as to why posts may be getting downvoted. I am attempting to explain why downvotes aren’t a big deal. Do you see that progression in conversation? I have a feeling you’re stuck on Theroux being unwelcome and my response is: big deal. How dare they give you basically the thumbs down in disapproval.

I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever had to spell something out that is this simple before. I’m starting to understand why people aren’t interested in engaging in conversation and instead just up/down vote.
