Did you not even bother to read the article? It took the most active subreddit for Trump, Sanders, and Clinton, so saying it 'makes no attempt to show the other side' just shows you didn't read it or didn't understand it. Also, nothing in the article or in any post said that it was only republicans, whites, or Trump fans. Saying that makes you sound silly and ignorant. You're also transparently exposing your agenda. Go back and read the stupid article next time or at least learn how to hide the fact that you didn't better.
For someone who critiques other people's posts you sure make a lot of shitty ones yourself.
Unless I'm blind, the article doesn't appear to explicitly state that the sub-reddits they looked at relative to Sanders' and Clinton's were the top 5, unlike the one for Trump's, nor whether or not they were included along the same criteria (e.g. /r/k*ketown is at the top in the pyramid image but not in the top 5 for /r/The_Donald when arranged by correlation). fwiw I don't expect the results to change much, however.
fatpeoplehate specifically is basically coontown/kiketown with a different demo for the images. I suppose in a sense it differs because something can be done about fatness but it does appeal to the same crowd.
Dunno, for example the "lolcows" community is disproportionately made up of women from what I've heard, which is basically dedicated to documenting/harassing mentally ill people on the internet. The "People of Walmart" is essentially a way of mocking unkempt poor people as well, and I doubt there's a particular right-wing bent to those that submit images to that site.
