    Well placed memes? There has been a massive, concerted effort to disrupt US politicsl perception since the 2000s, and only succeeded because tech billionaires were willing to play ball.

      And they won on memes. Do you not see how social media influences us all? Hell, Mexican dude at work yesterday was talking about how Trump will lower our taxes. (He maybe makes $20 as a supervisor, I make $15 as a noob.) Imagine that. Really take a breath and think on it. Where did that idiot belief come from? Memes.
