Reddit bans subreddit group “r/DonaldTrump”

I agree but there are 300 million in the US. The actual insurrectionists are like... 200 people? Maybe 2,000?

Shutting down anyone talking pro trump in the whole country will have downsides, and just make them more angry. Prohibition isn't an answer that will work.

Hopefully sending all of the insurrectionists to jail will help.

There are actually more like tens of millions of people who support replacing our democracy with autocracy on the basis that they believe we are stealing their country from them.

"Maybe 2,000" was a precursor event to the rise of Nazi germany.
