Interesting, I've saved multiple comments on r/politics that explicitly call for violence against trump supporters that I've reported and they still aren't deleted. It is also unfortunate that reddit doesn't think it needs to provide any evidence for this action, considering that it is the beginning of Trump's 2020 campaign and on the eve of the Dem primary debates.

FWIW, his 2020 campaign started in January 2017, just after getting into office. His first rally was a month later.

  His campaign officially just kicked off, about one week ago. But yeah, he himself is in a sort of perpetual campaign mode.

    No he filed his new campaign the day s/after/of taking office. > Trump began his reelection campaign unusually early for an incumbent President. He began spending for his reelection effort within weeks of his election, and officially filed his campaign with the Federal Election Commission on the day of his inauguration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_2020_presidential_campaign https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_2020_presidential...

      The operative word is 'officially', whatever that means. From your link we see both: > He began spending for his reelection effort within weeks of his election, and officially filed his campaign with the Federal Election Commission on the day of his inauguration. and > On June 18, 2019, Trump held an official campaign launch event at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida

It's easier to police threads than comments... there's hundreds of thousands if not millions of comments on thousands of different threads, the T_D is known to allow full threads devoted to violence, and they just leave them up. They are known to let slide MANY innuendos of violence, I'm sure if you did a statistical analysis of violent enacting comments across r/politics and r/The_Donald that you'd find way more on the donald than politics. Would you find 0 on poltics? probably not, some probably get overlooked and go unreported or overlooked, doesn't mean they shouldn't be moderated, just means there's not enough resources all the time to get the job done. TD has always been toxic, racist, and bigoted, it was just a matter of time before this happened. I think it happening near an election cycle is just coincidence, I think more the civil-war inciting of the current events in Oregon is at play here.
