I'm trying to figure out the latest toxic subreddit: r/The_Donald/ [View all]
ACHTUNG! Put on your level 4 biohazard gear before visiting...https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/
I'm trying to figure this place and its denizens out.
One school of thought says this is satirical, sort of like r/MURICA/.
I'm not sure this is the case.
I'm thinking, based on some obvious brigading in other subreddits, like r/politics/, that these are mostly genuine Trump supporters, also with elements from redpill/gamergate/PUA subreddits, and denizens of the banned subreddit r/Coontown/. Misogynists, racists, and other assorted assholes out spewing poison for the lulz.
What do you think?
