New or split board request ( republican board )

Dear mn it has become clear lately that it might be good if the royal family board could be split into royal chat and republican chat , it seems a lot of republicans don’t feel welcome and obviously other members are not enjoying having to field questions that are not the topic they are discussing.
I really believe that this would be a solution that could please everyone.

Why are people be labelled republicans? Who are they? How do you know they are republicans...I have see one or two say they are but others have said they aren't but just because they have a different point of view or perspective they are being lumped into the same label.

Why are republicans being singled out with a new board? 🤔 Why is it even being called republicans?

The Royal family is a board that should as it does allow for people to comment on what they like or don't like about them. Or are we here to create echo chambers?

How about talk guidelines are enforced better every other board on this site manages to have people with different opinions co-exist on the same board.

So why would the republicans be on royal family board? Just to say how much they dont like them?
or do you mean a totally separate republican board?

Happy to add my support.
It’s something that warrants serious consideration imo.

I would support this for the reason @jeffgoldblum has stated above.
