Don’t take a stand on these things unless you want the pitchforks and torches

I have a confession to make. Are you sitting down? I am politically conservative and I totally believe in the absolute existence of the God of Christianity. I am going to take a break from the keyboard while everyone takes a moment to gasp, faint, get triggered, and recover from the horrible shock. Maybe after hearing my confession there are some who need a therapist?

I say this is shocking news based on my experience here on Medium. I have written over one hundred stories on this platform. In all but two cases, I have received overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Judging by the comments on those articles, if you don’t want angry reactions, just stay quiet. That’s called silencing, by the way, and it is an unacceptable way to approach human interaction.

Conservative politics

In response to these experiences, I did a little digging. The majority of the political stories on Medium are liberal-minded. Trump stinks. DeSantis is a dweeb. Biden, Harris, and Obama are the best there ever was. That sort of thing.

That tells me Medium is definitely a majority liberal platform. That’s cool. But what is also apparent is that conservatives are not really welcome. At least, they are not welcome to be as vocal as the liberals.

The existence of God

So what about the religious posts? There are many Christians, Catholics, and Jews on here. There are many, many more atheists and agnostics. They apparently don’t like to hear from people who believe in God. It makes them angry and they feel the need to show up in the comments with all their rage.

If you only post in Christian circles you will be fine. If you have the guts to make absolute claims about Christianity in the greater “Mediumsphere” then brace yourself. They will come with pitchforks and torches.
