I disagree with you. Reddit censoring Trump supporters achieves the opposite of what they want to achieve. Censorship always , through history had shown to fail and bring the exact opposite result.
"Normies" dont get to see any positive trump comment in reddit anyway, not the current manipulated reddit. It is all deleted , downvoted and banned. I am personally banned by reddit no matter if I use a vpn., clear cache, make new account, buy an established account, switch computers. Nothing works, if I go to /r/politics and challenge the current narrative and say positive things about Trump and anything negative about Joe, I get shadowbanned, my comment wont show to anybody. I am aparently only allowed to post in certain subreddits (football for example) without being banned. Anything else , even if i comment in /r/pics where they post negative trump stuff all day, and i make a comment there positive about him., boom banned. Dont think this kind of censorship goes unoticed by neutrals and "normies". People all over reddit notice the censorship, obviously some encourage it (those who hate trump and this sub) , but the vast majority of comments I see on reddit by controversial are daily calling out the censorship of any trump supporter in the platform. I say let them keep doing it, it alrdy backfired in 2016 when they let that whole "correct the record" superpack manipulate everything, Bernie voters ended up voting for Trump as they too noticed how reddit went from r/all being 24/7 pro trump posts, to nothing , then r politics went from being a Bernie place to shilling for Hillary , any mention of "Shareblue" or certain mods working for the DNC got you immediate bans.

Anyway, I disagree with your view. I think reddit and other social media platforms banning trump supporters gets widely noticed and it will bring a positive effect and this will be reflected in the voting in November. The general public dont support censorship and silencing view points. Same reason why Trump calling out "fake news" every day has worked for him, everybody including his haters notice the media is covering for Joe Biden , making up lies, correcting stories every day , etc. Their ratings keep plummeting, nobody cares what lies they want to say, same story with reddit. Me and a ton other people used to go there for the latest stories, but nowadays it all gets cherry picked what makes it to r all.
