The only reason why T_D is still around is because its pretty much the only successfully non brigaded and taken over conservative subreddit left. (that i am aware of)

There are (were?) almost 100 or 200 antitrump/Liberal subreddits up at a single time (reduced to like 10 heavily antitrump subs now) and only a single Pro trump subreddit.

Basically reddit doesn't want to look like they are totally anti conservative by shutting T_D now so they issued an ultimatum. Moderate your fucking subs so you don't brigade or doxx and we are cool, just contain your shit. Despite the sub constantly being brigaded, but thats not my point.

T_D is verified in its actions because reddit has been in a constant state of double standards and "Rules for thee, but not for me" with politics for years now. Support T_D or not this isn't really deniable when you start looking into it. I remember when Politics and Worldnews were split down the middle everyday for the past couple of years its been literally nothing but anti-trump rhetoric (Politics) 24/7 with multiple cases of them suppressing other stories to make way for more anti-trump rhetoric.

tl;dr reddit sorta forced to allow T_D to exist because of their own double standard regarding rules. Also maybe a srs style "we live, you don't get doxxed" but i honestly doubt it.
