    Cultists [​IMG] And Trump only encourages them day after day with his insane rantings on Twitter and at his hate rallies.

    The biggest forum for supporters of President Trump on Reddit has been “quarantined" following months of incitements to violence and other offensive behavior, the tech giant said Wednesday, in a move that could further inflame conservatives’ claims of social-media bias.

    The forum, called “r/The_Donald,” has long served as a highly trafficked and controversial gathering place for supporters of Trump and Republicans on Reddit, America’s fifth-most popular website.

    ...

    Reddit officials said on Wednesday that the board had allowed or encouraged months of “rule-breaking behavior,” including the “encouragement of violence towards police officers and public officials in Oregon.”

    Please do enlighten me -- how many of the posters have been convicted or even arrested for overstepping the boundaries of the First Amendment.

    Great move by Reddit.

    This Trump-Supporting RW Reactionaries (who incite violence) don't deserve a platform.

    A very astute observation.

    99% of what passes for RW "Content" (on the entire internet) is "Projection" and "Pot meet Kettle".

    And once again, back on topic, great move by Reddit.:salute:

    Lol...You people are free to ignore it and suck at the teat of your favorite right-wing hate-monger if it makes you feel better.

    Im not buying it. Trump supporters aren't violent towards cops. Neither was the Tea Party-this is just a smear to justify silencing others.

    We know the game.

    “Everyone is wrong but me! Trump and Fox! And even Fox can be wrong when it does not agree with me!”

    Is that how it is?

    Surely at some point someone should start thinking “well maybe If all these people are saying something is amiss.......

    Now all we have to do is close down 4chan and 8chan since BOTH of those have been instrumental in radicalising mass shooters

    Exactly.

    Anywhere that is responsible for these RW Fever Swamp Death Squads needs to be shut down.

    Really? Cherry picking to make facts fit a world view? Or are we confabulating? No? Seems to be at odds with the facts oooops! Forgot - just fake news!

    Looks like a Media Matters setup.

    This of course is a sign of desperation.

    So? Anything that disagrees with the delusional Breitbart Narrative is "desperation"?

    Got it.:bored:
