constant fighting and complaining with other subs as well (which normally they would just shut down, but (un)fortunately, the r/the_donald mods are doing all they can do prevent that being needed, so its a constant minor (but active) problem, instead of being a large one-time problem that they can just ban)
Its the whole concept of poisoning the well, you have some people acting bad, and then the other people act bad in return, and then everyone watching just feels bad for watching it, and it makes everyone feel shit
So you think wiping out a subreddit community is reasonable because some members of that community do idiotic things? People from a subreddit as large as The_Donald aren't some homogenous group.
I think there's also an argument to be made that acceptable behavior is socially learned, and having others reinforce destructive behavior is a form of legitimacy.
