Left-wingers on Reddit have a formal name for their effort to ban President Donald Trump-supporting subreddits: BanOut 2018. The liberals have announced that they are now in “Phase 3” of the banning project.
Here is one choice quote from the Reddit thread: “Your comment was removed because it isn’t the phrase ‘I fully support banout 2018’ Feel free to make a new comment showing your support of this great cause.”

BanOut 2018 is an even bigger project than some leftists want to admit.
“Every mod on that sub is a power mod who controls many defaults,” a source told Big League Politics, referring to BanOut 2018.
