      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.

      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.

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.

      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.

      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.

    People will tell you Barack Obama was the first President elected by the Internet. I'd say that is Donald Trump's distinction. Sure, Obama used the tools of the Internet for his campaigning more effectively than any candidate prior to himself, but Trump's use of the Internet (especially Twitter) rallied his base and gave way for the enthusiasm that people feel for him. For my own little spin, I'd say his appeal to younger people (many too young to vote) was a call to the impact the Internet has had on people's lives. We are now seeing the first generation of people that were born into society that had very easy access to the internet. What happened was people stopped other activities and spent a lot of time indoors and online. It became a lot of watching movies, playing video games, and mindless scrolling through timelines and newsfeeds. People were learning less and becoming less in touch with reality. These fantasies on the screen became reality. Insert Donald Trump. Someone who didn't use big words. Someone they could relate to. Seeing chaos in movies and TV constantly made Donald Trump's notoriously unpolitical strategies seem like he was a character from a film. I'm certainly not saying TV, film, etc are new forms of entertainment, but let's just say it wasn't so easy to spend an entire day binging on shows before streaming services became so normalized in many homes.

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.

Not to mention his tax evasion, countless scams, and massive political corruption. He cheats on women, divorces, pays for sex with prostitutes, and probably hasn't read the Bible in his entire life.

      Use A before words such as "European" or "university" which sound like they start with a consonant even if the first letter is a vowel. Also use A before letters and numbers which sound like they begin with a consonant, such as "U", "J", "1" or "9". Remember, it is the sound not the spelling which is important.
