View submission: Introducing r/popular
Since when did I say ANYTHING about /r/the_Donald?
You're also being deliberately dense or straight up delusional to suggest /r/politics is less deceitful. For all the problems of /r/the_Donald, they're pretty upfront about being a meme hub and huge circlejerk fanclub that doesn't taken themselves too seriously.
r/politics is the alter ego, the same exact thing on the other side, masquerading as an actual forum for political discussion. There's no legitimate debate there. It's a Pinterest board of slanted buzz topics with deceitful headlines from less than stellar sources. The comment section is a race to post the first snarky one-liner.
Please.

You were literally responding to a comment about the donald, so the implication that's what you were referring to as politics "alter ego". While your description of the politics sub isn't too far off, it's leagues away from the flat out lies and misdirection of the Donald and its pizzagate bullshit. Are you russian?
