Definitely. But they do visit rightist sites to spew hate. I see it often in the postings.

I do not do so to leftist sites, first because I do not favor such action, second because I know I would be effaced and banned.

Often the first five or ten comments are sensible right-leaning comments. Then they sink into anti-conservative / anti-Trump rants. I wonder if the first few are the responses of people who initially read the articles before some people who spend time being alerted to right leaning sites start their leftist comments.

Before C-Span had the Dem, Republican and Independent phone lines, phone calls were overwhelmingly from a conservative viewpoint. Then someone, in Florida IIRC, organized people on the left to assign people a monthly time to call in. Then came the designated lines. Then the calls became dominated by the left with many of the supposed R’s saying ..... I am an R, BUT in this case.... I stopped watching.
