The_Donald is one of the largest subs. It will be ugly, but what other choice is there? From what I understand, all of the other political subs followed the rules and this isn't the first time The_D has pissed off the admins in one way or another. Tons of reports of brigading, harassment, bots, and other stuff. I do think the strategy is very likely to work, but a shitstorm could be coming. This is also pretty unique because it's so decisive. FPH wasn't as well known before going down and *everyone* seemed to agreed Pao was awful. But this has been going on for the better part of a year. Almost everyone on Reddit has *some* strong opinion about this. Either The_D, ETP, or banning them from their front page. I think this has the potential to be up there with /r/jailbait, if not the biggest. Only time will tell though.
