If you put a big banner over a discussion saying “HEY THIS IS A POLITICAL DISCUSSION”, and you have people adding “AND THEREFORE, REPUBLICANS ARE RIGHT!” at the end of their posts, or reply with “OH, THAT’S A SOCIALIST ARGUMENT YOU’RE MAKING THERE”
I don’t see any examples of people actually doing that, though.
Well, the first one is basically this thread, I don’t think the second one happens without being downvoted to oblivion, and I think there have been a few cases where replies highlighted the political alignment of a post or comment that wasn’t ostentatiously about color politics (probably in one episode of The Konkvistador And Multiheaded Show).
By “the first one” do you mean “AND THEREFORE, REPUBLICANS ARE RIGHT!”? If so, please cite examples.

I’ve been abstaining from LessWrong for awhile now, so I’ve missed a lot. Can you link me to some examples of what you mean by “The Konkvistador And Multiheaded Show”? It sounds highly entertaining.
