What's strange is that accusations are believed without any evidence. There are swarms of people that really dislike Trump, how are you distinguishing between the two on /r/politics? Long before the 2016 election even started, before CTR was ever started, Trump-like views would have been despised. So saying that CTR dominated /r/politics is not believable on its face. Unless there had been a sudden chance of character for /r/politics and at the same time a CTR swing back. Which would be easy to show.

Accepting anything without proof is strange and foolish.
