You're being revisionist. Foremost, 4chan got flooded post-2016 because shills/leftists bought into the idea that 4chan got a president elected. It wasn't that people agreed with the narrative Trump was offering, it was those damn "white incels!"
The whole idea that Redditors migrated from Reddit to 4chan en masse never made sense to me; why would right-wingers that supposedly lived on a site with literal troon admins whose front page was full of literally-astroturfed DNC propaganda go to a sub-community, then abruptly join here? Obviously some did, but never on the measure you migrants like to claim, when the inverse makes more sense. r/the_donald was a very small part of Reddits userbase.
Second, r/the_donald didn't get shut down in 2016. It lasted for much longer. the_donald got shut down after some online manifesto from some shooter (I can't remember the specific one), along with a lot of other political subreddits (mostly chapotraphouse backups, a commie subreddit that for years broke the site's rules but went unpunished because commie).
