I’m not convinced you actually saw what sort of content was posted on the_donald. It definitely was not just a hangout for Republicans. It was /r/c*ntown with a different name.

Important also to note that it was, by far, the most heavily “moderated” subreddit. You’d get banned immediately for posting anything critical of certain themes, even if it was completely in good faith.

Its worst content was no worse than what you saw (and still see) on other subreddits that align with the political zeitgeist.

People of all backgrounds were on the_donald, which should make you question the reasons you took issue with much of the content there.

Which political subreddit calls their opponents “fucking cuck” or equivalent with extreme regularity? For the record, this is devolving into a flame war and that wasn’t my intention. I suggest this stops here.

I’m going to assume you’re responding in good faith. “Fucking cuck” is honest-to-god no worse than the numerous insults I’ve seen hurled at conservatives by left-leaning subs. I’m a little surprised that’s the worst you could come up with.
