I doubt it - more likely they are only too aware of what it is, but seek to legitimise it, so downvote comments such as that. Similar to another one in this thread saying "it's just the same as /r/politics", it's important to normalise the_donald in the eyes of potential subscribers and to imply that what goes on in there is no different than in any other political subreddit. The difference, of course, could not be starker.

/r/politics is pretty sad though. Looking from across the pond, Sanders hype was just ridiculous. The hysteria wether to switch to HRC or keep bashing her was fun. Now it's just endless anti-Trump circlejerk which is getting boring. There's a huuuuuuge difference from niche subreddits that try to stay on.. "scientific"? side of politics and discuss it from a distance.
