Considering I took a suspension for “report abuse/harassment” for reporting someone threatening violence against trans people before I left reddit I think they are intentionally trying to encourage bigotry on the platform.

I don’t, it was back in like 2002-3 and the local paper doesn’t have their archives up anymore. He ended up having the charges dropped, but months later.
Its crazy how much leeway he is getting. Back during the Bush years a guy in my town had a hang bush sign on a cardboard cutout of him hanging from a tree. The dude was arrested and held for “terrorist threats.” The same was not true of similar threats made toward Obama. This was in liberal western Washington. The fascists have always gotten handled with kid gloves in this country and it seriously needs to be addressed if we have any hope of coming out the other side.
Lots of them definitely are. I’m noticed a lot more Texan transplants up in WA over the last few years than in the last 3 decades I’ve lived here.
