An election is a war of opinion, and whoever wields the strongest memes wins. Ten times as many people subscribe to Trump's subreddit as Clinton's, and Trump memes circulate other anonymous Internet culture hubs like 4chan. At stake is the position of the most powerful man in the world. It has been shown to be possible that a group of skilled programmers / hackers could influence the election. Why wouldn't, say, an expert team be hired to program ML that optimizes a candidate's size of web presence? Cheap price for a lot of political power. A "weaponized propoganda machine"? Maybe not. But if it's really that easy to game the system, you can't ignore the possibility.
