Trump wouldn't be a thing right now if Obama wasn't president. And because of Trump, a lot of his supporters are no longer afraid of voicing their racist hatred views so blatantly.

Thanks, Obama.

My dad was convinced Trump was a plant by the Clintons so that Hilary would win in 2016. He completely forgot that trump ran last election somehow and was a huge proponent of the birth certificate fiasco.

My dad's a lifelong Democrat and actually thought the Clintons planting Trump was great, which I'm sure Freep would appreciate for conspiracy reasons

I remember there was a story going around that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton had a conversation about whether Trump should run for president. It got exaggerated by all the various political blogs, but apparently a conversation did happen, it was confirmed by Bill Clinton. But that's not why the conspiracy theory is dumb. It's dumb because unless the Clintons had precognition abilities, there would be no way to predict the success that Trump has had in the general election. He was flouting the idea of running in 2012 and was laughed out of the room, the notion that it was a cleverly calculated plan by Bill and Hillary to rip apart the Republican party would make them the best political analysts in history.

Imgur has a lot of reddit users who jumped ship when their favorite racist subforums got shut down. There's a fairly tight circle jerk on all the racist posts.

I enjoy looking at funny pics on the shitter, but some of the content is getting to poo poo tier levels of absurdity.

My favorites are the constant posts by about 10 "different" users posting Hillary Lies memes. Yeah its true but man do I get tired of seeing them pop up every 10 posts.

Regarding these Imgur/Reddit/etc people who think women are all lying whores and who lie about rape and cheat on their spouses, I'm pretty sure one of two things is going on:

1. They're just making things up (this is the obvious, most likely, explanation)

2. They're such repulsive people that they are only able to attract and date the sort of women that actually do this stuff.

I like the implication that this person is probably going to end the friendship via showing up in a Pepe costume to someone's meme party, which suggests that, really, those two loving deserve each other. It's like a platonic, slightly more insufferable Pina Colada Song.

Pretty much, a lot if the supporters aren't really politically savvy, they're just a disenfranchised group who doesn't like how things are going and they want something different, whatever it is.

Suddenly they read about this politician making waves and how the establishment hates and fears him so he must be the ticket!
