Speaking of /r/The_Donald:

How many people in that subreddit do you figure are serious? I'm sure most of them intend to vote for Trump, but sometimes I can't shake the feeling that they're all in on a joke instead of being actual supporters. Something about it feels so insincere...

I think they are mostly real Trump supporters but it isn't intended to be a place for serious discussion. It's mostly memes and circlejerking.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of them are serious, but it tells you something about the population when they throw cuck around as an insult in the blanket fashion at everyone who disagrees with them.

The whole thing feels similar to high-schoolers being edgy for the sake of a joke. I can't take them seriously, and I don't know how they take themselves seriously.
