I don't think harassing a woman over a story made-up by a bitter ex-boyfriend counts as political expression by any measure.

/r/the_donald was promoting the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville with a sticky at the top of their sub.

I would say it's a delusional victimhood on the part of those people.
/r/The_Donald has broken many rules of Reddit and the largest punishment they've been given is that /r/popular was created to steer people to less toxic content.
You can also look to how long they let /r/physical_removal (advocates of political violence towards "commies" and "leftists") and /r/incels (advocates of sexual assault, rape, and violence against women) stay open.
/r/MensRights is still around despite doxxing and harassing people in the past.

All of those communities mentioned are not simply providing conservative viewpoints. The ones mentioned have coordinated harassment towards people and organizations that they disagree with.
