The tension that The_Donald and many alt-right subreddits place on reddit in general seems to be reaching a boiling point. I get the feeling the admins are just waiting for a credible reason to present itself that lets them cleanly wipe out all of them.

What is the tension about exactly? That they don't align with their own personal political views?

That you think they're actually expressing their political views instead of shitposting to rile up actual trump voters while pissing off the rest of the internet is fairly naive.

I dont think anything, it was a genuine question and I'm out of the loop. I don't go to reddit much so its the first I've heard of this.

Don't worry, I go to Reddit every day and this is the first I've heard of it.
