/r/AlternateHistory is exactly what it sounds like on the tin, a subreddit for alternate history scenarios.
We start this drama with the OP posting the first part of their oddly-conservative alt-hist series titled βThe Second American Civil War According to Reddit Part 1: Electionβ, which tries to detail how Reddit would react to Trump being forcibly taken off the ballot due to an executive order made by Joe Biden that would bar felons from running for office.
This post gets taken down, as it was originally considered to be not alternate history.
This causes lots of folks to come out of the woodwork in AlternateHistory, pooping all over the moderators, which can be seen in theseposts, along with the latest posts on OP's profile.
The matter does get solved though, with the mod Coniuratos explaining that he removed the first post because they thought it was made to just politically mudsling, with the top mod of /r/AlternateHistory removing succeeding posts in the series, which got undeleted by the mods as well.
TL/DR: OP of a conservative alt-hist series got most of /r/AlternateHistory on their side due to questionable mod actions.

This is one of those times where you really should invoke "bad faith". The guy is following the letter of the law but he's clearly trying to hijack their community and turn it into an outlet for his political spergouts. If the mods had any balls they would just say "Hey, we're not r-slurred, we get what you're doing. Stop doing it."

But /r/AlternateHistory is all political mudslinging. The only people who care about alt history, are people wishing their failed ideology worked and writing fanfics where it does.

That's a great way to describe Disco Elysium.

I don't think any ideology really works in Disco.

They make communism no worse than all the alternatives. That's rewriting history.

If OOP cared about realism, it would be radical state-level and Congressional Dems sperging out, with Brandon impotently pooping his pants. Trump's real-life prosecutions and electoral challenges have been the work of overeager blue state prosecutors and judges. Some may argue that Biden is secretly directing them behind the scenes, but ... Biden? Secret mastermind? Really?
For all his faults, Biden is a genuine believer in Boomer Norms(TM).
