You know why you need conservatives? To fight ignorance caused by being in a bubble. For example, we were telling you the Hunter Biden Laptop story was a big deal, while Twitter and Facebook were censoring it. And it was real, and it’s still a big deal. Without us, you might not know that the ‘Trump server connected to s Russian bank’ story was utter bullshit. Without us you might not have heard that a lawyer representing Hillary Clinton has been indicted for lying to the FBI about it, and that he was part of a conspiracy that included a tech executive, two internet companies, a major law firm, a huge oppo-research firm and the Clinton campaign. Just fighting ignorance here. It’s taking longer than I thought. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/let-me-be-real-clear-this-message-board-does-not-need-conservatives/947474)._
