So IK but it is a stretch to link GG directly to Trump however I would argue it did lay the groundwork for the alt-right and a lot of the rhetoric and tactics of online Trump supporters
Bro Trump wouldn't have won w/o the Great Meme War that is an objective fact. Like that whole fiasco is where the term SJW comes from. Just remember playing CSGO and on the Destiny servers at the time and remember all the s__ bein said. I don't wanna dramatize but like that and the s____ on the Ferguson(Rest in Power Michael Brown)/ Bmore (Rest in Power Freddie Gray) situations are where the line in the sand was really drawn.
Furthermore, just look at why atlas hates New Atheism so much despite it being a left leaning demographic; I just can't help but think that flashpoint was when s___ really started poppin imo.
