The popular page "The_Donald" was instrumental in the 2016 eleciton sharing Memes and information for the campaign.
Following up the Google/Veritas revelations that big tech is committed to defeating Donald Trump, Reddit has placed the page under a "Quarantine" which means you have to click past a security warning.
Most likely, the plan next is to delete the page for having "Hate speech" to prevent it's nearly 1 million users from creating viral campaigns there for 2020.

Quarantine.
Dear Mods,
We want to let you know that your community has been quarantined, as outlined in Reddit’s Content Policy.
The reason for the quarantine is that over the last few months we have observed repeated rule-breaking behavior in your community and an over-reliance on Reddit admins to manage users and remove posts that violate our content policy, including content that encourages or incites violence. Most recently, we have observed this behavior in the form of encouragement of violence towards police officers and public officials in Oregon. This is not only in violation of our site-wide policies, but also your own community rules (rule #9). You can find violating content that we removed in your mod logs.
As we have discussed in the past, and as detailed in our content policy and moderator guidelines, we expect you to enforce against rule-breaking content. You’ve made progress over the last year, but we continue to observe and take action on a disproportionate amount of rule-breaking behavior in this community. We recognize that you do remove posts that are reported, but we are troubled that violent content more often goes unreported, and worse, is upvoted.
User reports and downvotes are an essential way that Reddit functions to moderate content. Limiting or prohibiting them prevents you from moderating your community effectively. Because of this, we are disabling your custom styling in order to restore these essential functions.
As stated in our Moderator Guidelines, our goal is to keep the platform alive and vibrant, as well as to ensure your community can reach people interested in it. Accordingly, here are the specific terms of the quarantine and the next steps we are asking from you as a mod team to resolve this situation.
Quarantine terms:
Visitors to this community will see a warning that requires users to explicitly opt-in to viewing it. This messaging reminds users of the importance of reporting rule-breaking content.
Custom styling has been disabled to restore the report and downvote buttons.
We hope both these changes will help improve the signal around rule-breaking content and improve your ability to effectively address it.
Next steps:
You unambiguously communicate to your subscribers that violent content is unacceptable.
You communicate to your users that reporting is a core function of Reddit and is essential to maintaining the health and viability of the community.
Following that, we will continue to monitor your community, specifically looking at report rate and for patterns of rule-violating content.
Undertake any other actions you determine to reduce the amount of rule-violating content.
Following these changes, we will consider an appeal to lift the quarantine, in line with the process outlined here.
We hope that this process provides a viable way forward to restore the health of the community. However, if this situation continues to escalate, we will explore further actions, including the possible banning of your community.
Please confirm that you have received and understand this message.
This is the message sent to us, so per their request, I'm sharing with you.

This is a list of what Reddit has removed in the last 30 days. If you count, not including the admins stripping me of most of my permissions, it amounts to fewer than one/day.
It would seem they've set up an impossible standard as a reason to kill us before the 2020 election.
More soon.

Apparently, this is the controversial thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/c4t3gq/the_insanity_in_oregon_is_a_glimpse_of_our_very/
Libs appeared at Trump rallies dressed as Nazis, waving confederate flags. They brought crazy hateful signs to the Tea Party rallies during the Obama era. Sure they are gaslighting The_Donald to then report the page for abuse.
Dems can't win. They have terrible ideas and they have to resort to stopping debate and Free Speech along with outright voter fraud to even have a chance. Will get far worse as they see 2020 slipping away. TDS will be on full tilt after he's re-elected.
Censorship “incites violence”
Actively interfering with an election
Civil war creeps forth.
What they do is have leftist trolls deluge the site with “hate speech” and then use that as the excuse to shut it down.
Not going to end well if this keeps up
Ohhhh and just in time for tonight’s debate...HOW CONVENIENT!!
You got that right. Scanned the comments on the thread and they are buried by lunatics claiming that a Trump yard sign means that a Nazi lives in the house. Kind of looks like a handful of trolls have multiple accounts and use them to repeat that nonsense.
Are anti-Trump agents deliberately posting things that would lead to this?
e.g. posts advocating violence.
UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE.
Thank God for Free Republic.
There’s always Free Republic.
No reason it can’t get the 1 million people over from Reddit.
Screw the Leftist garbage and their Orwellian silencing games.
Exactly...
Whatever money there is for political advertising, don’t spend it on the internet.
Spend it on radio and TV, and perhaps a few print media outlets.
Radio and TV still reach more people than the internet, and people certainly don’t go looking for political advertising on the internet. Whereas radio and TV are made for advertising, especially when it’s ‘free’ for the listeners and viewers.
Facebook and Google and Twitter and MSN and Yahoo don’t need the republican/conservative money during political season. People skip around internet advertising, while they can’t skip around radio and TV advertising (unless they need a snack break).
They’ll show up in volume here at some point closer to the election.
Ping
I bet that these ‘incitements’ are done by leftist trolls to get sites banned intentionally.
SORTA LIKE CREATING A FAKE RUSSIAN DOSSIER AND THEN USING IT AS PROOF OF COLLUSION TO GET TO SPY ON YOUR POLITICAL ENEMIES..........
They quarantine The_Donald, yet there’s a bajillion hardcore porn subreddits plastering the place.
“don’t spend it on the internet.”
Would have to disagree with you. The voters, ages 18-40, spend most of their time on the internet. Very seldom do they read papers or other print media. Mostly watch YouTube instead of cable TV.
Democrats advertise heavily on YouTube; I got sick of seeing their ads constantly in the last election. Young voters will be seeing them constantly too for 2020 election.
