I mean, yah, there’s no libs to trigger on right wing sites. And what’s the point of spouting right wing rhetoric if you’re not making someone visibly angry about it?

You may be joking, but I think that is a big part of what they look for, consciously or not. Progressives can be pretty happy discussing news and ideas with other progressives. Conservatives don't want to talk about things too much unless there's an argument to be had.
There's a certain level of amusement in trying to picture what those college end-of-party conversations that turn into breakfast at Denny's look like for conservatives. I enjoy a good, heated argument, but you don't bond over those except under very specific circumstances one doesn't run into at that time.
I've been in some of those groups. They don't discuss ideas. They discuss people and events, sports, maybe what they did last weekend or plant to do this weekend, talk about their families.
