Did you frequent r/politics circa 2016? There was a very obvious point when Bernie supporters and Trump supporters alike were driven out, and where all views essentially became pro-Clinton and pro-establishment overnight.
Before that, it was a place that was pretty inclusive of views from the whole spectrum.
