/pol/ may be the most salient and influential political forum on the internet (a recent study showed /pol/ produces the most reposted content seen elsewhere online). To describe it as “right wing” is like saying YouTube comments are right wing. It’s unmoderated, not right wing, there’s a big difference (see /r/the_donald if you want right wing). That said, these days it’s full of shills shilling shills. I prefer to hang out on the other, more apolitical and better moderated 4chan forums like g, tv, and o.

Addendum: to say /pol/ isn’t 4chan is both true and false but it’s kind of weird and unfortunate you felt obligated to apologize for using 4chan because /pol/ exists. Just because /pol/ tolerates witches doesn’t mean 4chan’s a witch site for witches populated entirely by witches.

the_donald is mostly shitposting. If you want an example of right wing you'd be better off with https://www.reddit.com/r/conservative.
