That slippery slope is a byproduct of their subreddit social mechanic combined with a polarized political climate.
If the sub leans 60/40 one way, the minority group will see all their posts being downvoted, and gradually leave. As more leave, the downvote pressure on the remaining few gets more intense, and they leave too, until you're left with a veritable echo chamber.
