If you don't think the vast majority of people there are real and genuine supporters then you don't understand this political movement. To you it looks like a bunch of trolls, but that's expected, you fundamentally disagree and/or do not understand their POV. As is so common, you cite no examples. Sure there are trolls, there are entire sub's devoted to trolling r/the_donald.
For example, they don't like Saudi Arabia. Do you? Should we allow one of the most oppressive and rich governments on the planet influence our news and politics?
- d0mine 10y agoI don't mean "troll" as an insult here. I mean it as the description of the activity that is not about opinions it is about facts. Usually there could be a gray area where it is not clear whether some online activity can be classified as trolling -- r/The_Donald is not one these cases -- the signal is very clear. You could use any common definition e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29 Though some of the submissions might be genuine (given the demographic) due to Poe's law (extreme views and their parody are hard to distinguish) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law
