The sudden emergence of r/esist -- more vote manipulation

Doesn't it strike anyone else as odd that a subreddit formerly unheard of hits the front page with 26k upvotes, but the history of the subreddit shows posts barely gets 40 points a piece.

I definitely feel like there's some vote manipulation going on here. To me its pretty blatant.

there's probably people just upvoting everything anti-Trump..

it might be a surprised, but some people do hate him that much. It's not out of the possibility that there's voting thing going on, but the anti-trump circlejerk is strong right now.

This might be a surprise, but there are some people who hate both sides. They put on a show every 4 years, nothing ever comes of it, we will always be in bed with Saudi Arabia. We have to, otherwise our economy will colapse.

He's never had a positive approval rating. Prime indicator that most people dislike him.

Well considering that r/the_Donald is a dumpster it's kind of nice to go somewhere to speak to like minded people that don't promote hate/bigotry.

Can you site an example of hate/bigotry from T_D?

You forgot the /s

I suppose you have an example then?

Come on, it's the most hateful sub on Reddit since r/altright got banned. It's worse than r/politics

This is not an example. The example you provided is admittedly weak.

r/politics is magnitudes more hateful that T_D, not to mention it is totally manipulated and manufactured content.

T_D may be a circle jerk, but it is not the least bit hateful or bigoted. If you spent any time at all there you would know that.

Except hate for the Trump folks you mean. That kinda of overt hate is ok.

Probably a coincidence. What door?
