The sub-Reddit The Donald, on popular internet forum and news site Reddit, has moderators that routinely discriminate against voices that are not pro-Trump by banning the poster from the sub Reddit and deleting that user's comment. This is a seditious and anti democratic practice. While legal, it is dangerous in that it allows the users in this sub Reddit to have an essential circle jerk of confirmation bias and skew, essentially brainwashing each other with pro Trump ideas. Any critical debate is suppressed. Any disagreement silenced. Anything not towards their own notions of Trump and the race, preconceived or otherwise, is banned. This is creating a festering political engine of blind pro-Trumpness. This is not something one can disregard as mere internet interaction. There are upwards of 200 thousand subscribers to this page, with 10 to who-knows-how-many active users at any given time. We all have a right granted from the 1st Amendment to say what we want and gather in any way we want. Censoring differing opinions is against that right, and the spirit of the Amendment.
