WARNING: TheDonald.Win Mods explicitly stated last week, that should you be prompted to re-register, or re-login, or get redirected to something outside of TheDonald.Win, that the site has been compromised, and Feds have taken control of it. Patriots.Win is suddenly the redirect. You've been warned.

Except that's not what the mods said. OP just made up the part about "or get redirected to something outside of TheDonald.Win".

https://patriots.win/p/11S0pt62x2/important-note-about-this-site/c/

The warning was about being asked to log in again. Because the "thedonald.win" domain name belongs to bad actor, meaning it was conceivable the feds (or some other bad actor) could take control of the domain name and place their cloned version of the site under it in order to control the site and surveil all its users.

In order for them to be able to do this however, they'd have to get you to log in to their clone site since they would not actually have any account data (it would actually be harvesting your login/password when you "logged in" the first time, and using it to create an account that looks like your account on the real site).

At any rate, they said nothing about redirects. A redirect indicates the opposite of what the mods were warning about. The problem is that bad actors own the domain name "thedonald.win". Bad actors up to no good would not direct you away from thedonald.win, they'd keep you there because they own the domain.
