      Its happened with the anti sjw movement. From people who know about politics to merely normies calling people sjws for being "edgy" and following the popular thing, despite them not knowing why SJWs are so disliked. And its not only for their views...in fact that's about only 55% I would say...
      If Normie's continue joining, the movement will become nothing more than right wing sjws full of strawmanning...

      The media chooses what we should interpret from what Donald Trump says. They say he says "racist" things, but you looking up to news anchors as teachers, who wouldn't lie to you. They have complete bias and want you to interpret what he says as they do. Sensitive people naturally don't like Donald trump. Mentally masculine or chill people see Donald Trump as confident and a troll; I love trolls and people who invoke sensitive liberals. If you disagree, then stop listening to news and friends and interpret things for yourself; you will always be the most knowledgeable out of all you're friends, whether you be conservative or liberal.

      Mainstream media, over the past 5 years, has proven to be completely disconnected with their viewers. Aside from maybe a handful that have actually learned from the 2016 campaign what sticks in people's heads, most keep doing the same old shit they've done for the past 2 decades and wonder why all their viewers are moving to online/alternative sources. It's not even a single party thing. Both liberals and conservatives have moved away from mainstream media to the point where both hardliners of each side call it "fake news".
      Now with this virus going on and many different sources, people subscribe to a lot of different sources saying different things about how dangerous it could be and it's affect on the world's economy. Those massive news groups have all on their own created extreme distrust on who the average joe should get their news from. It's obfuscated to the point where it all seems untrustworthy and you should just listen along ideological lines.
      I could go on but it's not worth it. It'll come to light what small groups are on top of the media eventually and it will fracture the current global empires. 250 years is the average. Just know that.

That's because that relationship stuff didn't matter when you are the WINNER and all your opponents have been humiliated. They don't outwardly hate Trump, the Republicans who do still say Trump is a bad person are outliers.

Hillary by contrast was far too formal compared to Trump and her talking points were ok, but what really sank her was the “Deplorable’s” speech. That alone ensured her probably most of the possible swing state votes that occurred in places like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida.

      Yeah this might be a disservice that memes did to use more than anything. People have gotten so hung up on pwning the libs with Twitter memes that basically never talk about actual policy, and when they do, it's with idiotic and hyper-simplified "memey" concepts which might be good for getting your message around when you don't care about facts, but are actually terrible for discussing political ideas effectively.
      Probably Trump won BECAUSE of this. His strategy basically consisted of turning off people's brains through a saturation bombardment of simple, braindead meme-format ideas. As it turns out, people are quite vulnerable to that, which is not surprising since US elections are basically reality shows.

And those trump supporters were radicalized by "memes", a lot of them being targeted by paid actors, and once those actors had their propaganda moving, the Internet did the rest.

    The other massive thing that should be considered is that usually after that one blunder that turns a candidate's bid into a laughing stock, the big backers (read: the guys who shove that sweet sweet funding) go away, leaving the candidate to eat up the last of their cash before being forced to give up since they can't run a campaign without money. Trump was *his own funding* through the whole ordeal, meaning a blunder wouldn't end his run. It's more a sidenote about why his campaign didn't entirely crash and burn right at the very start.

      She sells seashells on the seashore, but the value of these shells will fall
      Due to the laws of supply and demand everyone wants to buy shells This is loads on the sand
      Step one, you must create sense of scarcity, shells will sell much better if the people think they're rare you see, bear with me and take as many shells as you can find, hide them on an island, stockpile em high till they're rarer than a diamond
      Step two gotta make the people think that they want them, really want em, really f*cking want em, hit em like Bronson, influencers, product placement, featured prime time entertainment, If you haven't got a shell then you just a f*cking waste man
      Three, it's Monopoly, invest inside some property, start a corporation, make a logo, do it properly, "these shells must sell", that'll be your new philosophy, swallow all your morals, they're poor man's quality
      Four, expand, expand, expand, clear forests, make land, fresh blood on hands
      Five, why just shells? Why limit yourself, she sells seashells, sell oil as well!
      Six, guns, sell clocks, sell diamonds, sell rocks, sell the time to a fish, sell the time to a clock
      Seven, press on the gas, take your foot off the brakes, then run to be the president of the United States!
      Eight, big smile mate! Big wave, That's great, now the truth is overrated, Tell lies out the gate
      Nine, polarize the people, controversy is the game, it don't matter if they hate you if they all say your name!
      Ten, the world is yours. Step out on the stage to a round of applause. You're a liar, a cheat, a devil, a wh*re, and you sell seashells on the seashore.

      Yes he did, and it’s exactly what we all wanted. He didn’t act political and that’s what drew so many to him, many Americans accurately identified the festering waste that is Washington and decided “yea, let’s push the red button” and I’m so glad they did.
      Donald Trump will go down as the best and worst president of our lifetime and no narrative or pharmaceutical paid talking point will convince %50 of the country otherwise.

      @J D facts about trump: won the election fair and square, has brought more women into positions of power than any other US president, has the lowest unemployment of blacks in 40 years, should I go on?
      You say hes not a mastermind but even with the last speech he gave he got the women who refused to acknowledge anything he did to stand up and cheer and celebrate again and again. He is full of charisma and charm and brains apparently
      Also you shouldn't be taking about grammar if you can't form grammatically proper sentences, dumbass.

      Alas, he also contradicts himself or says completely idiotic things at times, further rendering him less palatable as the President of the US. He has stated the following:
      "The other thing with the terrorists is you have to take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families."
      ^Trump promoting terrorism.^
      "(Obama) doesn't have a birth certificate. He may have one, but there's something on that, maybe religion, maybe it says he is a Muslim. I don't know. Maybe he doesn't want that."
      ^Trump implying that Obama is a Muslim.^
      "I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering."
      ^Trump overestimates the number of people cheering after 911 by thousands and stuck with it even though he knew what he said wasn't true.^
