The Federalist: In Trump's 2nd Term, Reddit Takes Turn Toward Violent Extremism
Reddit is experiencing a significant rise in violent political rhetoric, particularly within the subreddit r/50501, which is organizing nationwide protests against Donald Trump.

Users are advocating for armed protests and threatening violence against elected officials and their families.
