4chan played a non-insignificant part in getting MAGA in power. It always attracted throngs of alt-right morons who dominated the political discourse. Back when nazis were afraid to speak about their beliefs in public, the Internet quickly became their breeding ground and base of operations. They got in very early, and were always very good at dominating and influencing online sentiment.

Yup, and I was almost one of them. Can take a while to deprogram oneself. It literally took me being exposed to the wide world out of their little microcosim of understanding and rhetoric to see they were putting 2+2=9. Add in the neo-liberals who cozy up with them when anyone with a hint of progressivism gets popular or change is on the horizon. Then saying stuff like "they can still learn and understand."
