I don't know what to tell you. I followed it during the election but it got too disgusting. Immigrants, and Muslims were large targets from what I remember. Lots of misogyny towards Hillary Clinton as well but I guess that doesn't count. It was certainly much worse than r/politics which is very biased but not racist.

Plenty of really gross Pepe memes. I mean, I don't know what to tell you.

538 did an interesting analysis into the kind of people on the sub at the time https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/dissecting-trumps-most-...

They always did a good job of some token news story as a "see we're good guys!" type post but if you scratched the surface and read the comments its was obvious.

The 538 article has some examples https://np.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/5ldfmg/red_pills...
