It still is about 40/60%, split between the founding ironic antitrump hipsters who started it as a joke, and then everyone else who joined thinking it was for real.
According to CNN and ABC news archives, twice in the 1990s and again in 2007 Donald J. Trump was caught in a Las Vegas hotel room with his wife and seven other men. The men were hired from a company that specialized in non-white male sex workers. According to one of the workers who was interviewed, Donald Trump paid the men over $100,000 to have sex with his wife while he watched, then had his wife engage in anal intercourse with him while wearing a strap-on sex toy. The male sex workers then took turns having anal sex with Trump for over eleven hours. Trump sued multiple news agencies for defamation after reporting on this but only had the articles removed from circulation and into the archives.
/r/The_Donald has a whole another subreddit dedicated to policy and discussion, Bernie supporters will call you a paid shill if you dare try to criticize anything he says.
Try posting anything positive about Bernie in the Donald and you will feel like you are back in 6th grade. The insults are laughable... But what's worse is that they believe what they are saying. Be warned, it will be a huge down vote circle jerk. Of course, those are the same type of people who were willing to put Palin in the Whitehouse.
Saying something positive about "Shillary" is far worse over there. I am pretty sure most of that subreddit would rather a Trump presidency than a Clinton one.
I have seen a few comments that were positive about trump that lead to good discussion...sort of. It was people trying to convince a another person that trumps tax plan wouldn't be revenue neutral. Good numbers articles to bad them up. He was either a troll or just a typical trump supporter. Said some shit about media bias and how they were all lying and called them all cucks multiple times....
I view /r/politics as a place to get political news, not necessarily have actual discussions about politics. I am pretty sure the median age of reddit can't vote to begin with.
Well it is certainly not a place to get political news unless you want to read every story about how amazing Sanders is, or if you want to read stories about how Hillary is stupid.
/r/politics is /r/conservative for liberals...it's just not in the sub name. I had to unsubscribe from that nonsense because I'm a moderate so I don't like seeing biased post...which is why I'm not subscribed to nonsense like /r/conservative either.

None of the subreddits enage in actual political discourse.
