I wonder about this sometimes. moot was a child, started an anime website, and drew aggro from some of the worst weirdos on the planet; ancap, nazis, pedos, etc. After more than a decade, they finally broke him, with an epic thread where btards in the ground proved with photos that his girlfriend was cheating on him. He sold the site something like six months later, in 2013 or 14, I want to say. and then 18ish months after that, Trump descends a golden escalator.
I wonder sometimes if moot knew he was holding back the end of the world. I do think that Trump is the final metastisization of something that was already festering. I do think if not him, then someone. But this vanity run for president in 2016 was intended to be a negotiation tactic with NBC for the apprentice; the channer nazis were who elevated him above a gag candidate.
This is absolutely true because Trump is fundamentally not a fluke, but rather the inevitable culmination of festering rot at the core of American culture. If not him, it would have been someone.
Absolutely but also the fact that it was him feels rather absurd. Its like that scene in Back to the Future. "Whose the president?" "Ronald Reagan!" "The actor?!"
Donald Trump was kind of a washed up joke by the time of his initial run. Maybe the Apprentice was doing fine ratings wise, but like, i feel like everyone knew it was a clownshow. It had been running well past the Reality boom of the early 2000s. I think we all expected Americas next top fascist to be a young, handsome political agitator, a Richard Spencer type, or maybe a Journeyman statesman type, with a square jaw and flecked with gray around the temples. That's who central casting would bring in, to sell that this guy could bring the fash to Joe sixpack in Peoria.
Instead, its a 24 hour clown show. Forget Cruz, or Graham, or even Bobert or Greene. We have other mediocre washed up has been white dudes stumping at this rallies. Hulk Hogan, Kevin Sorbo, Kid Rock, Scott Adams, Elon Musk. The fact that team sports politics has become a literal fucking clown show feels like it is in 2013 era Anon's oeuvre of humor.
