They don't even make a secret of it. r/The_Donald called him "God emperor" all the time. And they weren't joking even if they claimed they were.

I will never believe the whole thing (Trump) didn't start out as a joke like Boaty McBoatface, which was so preposterous, so bonkers that it went viral and a bunch of out of touch idiots didn't get the humor and took out all as a serious movement and then made it one. I think it's mass delusion.

Dipshits have been worshipping Trump as a business genius for decades.

I might have believed before he began loudly proclaiming what a giant moron and narcissist he is for the last decade.

It was a coordinated sci ops. The_donald popped up practically overnight and pushed its way to the top of Reddit as a "joke" subreddit and it gradually got worse from there.

It has to be just meme fuckery. It had to be. He was the most unserious candidate ever. He fucking asked a geopolitical rival for help hacking our institutions of democracy on live fucking tv! He's a fucking joke candidate followed by people who don't even know they got played by Trump and 4chan and this Q chucklefuck. Trump is supported by a Batman villain with a fucking Nixon tattoo. This is comedy. This is farce! Well fucking played, assholes. You got us. You got us fucking good.

And these morons with room temperature IQs are so fucking illiterate that they are incapable of recognizing the rank irony. Fuck even Trump, on the eve of his election victory, you could see it on his face - he was thinking "what have you stupid motherfuckers done? I just wanted to drum up the name recognition and net worth!"

I just can't take that fucking turnip seriously.

coordinated sci ops

Coordinated science operations are well above anything that the_dipshit could put together
