This would work as long as we weren't flooded with leftie trolls. Problem with lefties is that they all think with hive mind (which is why they're so good at getting their way when protesting and suchlike) and never have any opinions of their own which haven't been given to them by their peers after being filtered through the propaganda machine. So if we're going to do that, be prepared for zillions of lefties all saying the same thing and appearing, through force of numbers, like their opinions outweigh those of the freedom-loving peeps already here.
It could be done, I reckon, but there'd have to be some serious moderation in the relevant section to prevent a misbalance. Or that section would somehow have to be kept separate. Or maybe even use a new forum?
