A top post on /The_Donald/ on Friday alleged that CTR is still around, trying to influence the subreddit’s direction. “Since CTR hacks are doubtlessly still lurking about ... let’s help them out with some post-election therapy,” one post read.

Another user wrote on Nov. 11 about mainstream media outlets’ coverage of hate crimes in “Trump’s America.” “Folks CNN has an article talking about hate crimes spreading in ‘Trump’s America” it is very important that seekers of the truth send them the same message we sent the government by electing Trump in the first place. These hate crimes are fabrications and for anyone out there still believing what they see and hear on these websites will take it as truth,” it said.

The calls for a boycott on mainstream media outlets ensued.

“Unity is the last thing they want,” said one in response to a CNN report about Sen. Harry Reid’s comments to Trump in the same thread. “They won’t stop until they get what they want...except this time that’s the exact opposite of what will happen.”
