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:

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.
Among the people in charge of Reddit, i suspect you will find a significant group of the people secretly posting the very stuff they are complaining about, for the express purpose of getting it shut down.
It’s how they roll.
Jussie’ism is a lifestyle.
Well well well, looky here. Sodomite Carlos Maza tweeted about Reddit shutting down the Donald two days ago:

Coincidence?
To be fair, T_D content has danced the line of political support and outright trolling for it’s entire existence. I don’t know how much content is posted as serious commentary (or comments posted by people who believe the sentiment they express), what amount it the content is childish satire, and how much is a sabotage effort to make the page look like all Trump supporters are Nazis or will be just as soon as someone lets them loose.
I believe the actual Trump supporters who frequent the place just wade by the garbage and try to make the forum work so nice it is much easier to express a pro Trump opinion there than in other political forums there, most which trend hard left to outright communist. The anti-trump folks see the garbage as the only true content and hold it up as proof that all Trump supporters are Nazis who need to be defeated at all costs. They openly rail against the mere existence of the subreddit on the Reddit site as unacceptable. They won’t ever stop using Reddit thselves, but they will scream and kick if they don’t get their way and silence any opposing viewpoint.
So far, you can just click through past the “scary” warning.
I go multiple times a day. It’s where the 18-40 year old Trump fans are.
Demographic here is mostly 50-dead.
Young people are moved by images and quick thoughts. Humor is also useful.
For example, 4channers and the donald created a fake pro-Hillary campaign called “Draft our Daughters.” Using her graphic style from the campaign the intent was to point out that Hillary wanted girls to register for the draft. Gender equality and all that.
It went viral. Women had to question if that’s something they really wanted. Not sure how many voters it moved, but just one of many examples of what these boards can produce.
But you have to be logged in as a user and go past it every post. That’ll greatly reduce traffic and it is an obvious first step to deletion.
Reddit has been monkeying with the_Donald for a long time. They just aren’t trying to hide it any longer. Clown world.
Ping to Semimojo.
When all significant speech is controlled by private "property", there will be no freedom of speech in America.
Exactly.
I couldn't on the iphone app. I'm not a registered user. Don't know if that matters.
The_Donald is the only part of the entire site that it's worth looking at. The memes are great.
Aaaaaand there ya’ go.
Haha! Forgot about that raid.
These large social media companies are all Leftist owned and facilitating only leftist or muslim terrorist cell organization.
We saw it clearly in the so-called Arab Spring. We saw it in the 2016 election. They should be counted as free air time in campaigns, regulated and cut up.
Media Matters runs the media
The Liberal fascists cannot allow dissenting voices to be heard. MEMES ARE DANGEROUS THINGS, and cannot be allowed to derail Democrats winning 2020.
Just got to the quarantine warning and unable to click past it on my phone. That just deepens my resolve and clicked over and made a donation to the Trump re-election campaign. Will now set my sights on how to get around this and educate others.
OMG What no Roman Columns
