Did you not see the front page of reddit? The Russia scandal was completely gone and there was nothing but confeve memes as far as the eye could see. Don't let your irrational hatred of a man cloud your judgement. The fact that you are so easily duped by such a simple juke... literally 7 jabs of his thumb, should warn you that you need to spend some time in self reflection

How relevant do you think the front page of reddit is to reality?

  A lot it's the 5th largest website in the usa.

    With a demographic that is the inverse of the "voter turnout by age" graphic though [0]. [0] http://www.electproject.org/home/voter-turnout/demographics http://www.electproject.org/home/voter-turnout/demographics

    So it is likely to be infiltrated with marketing disguised as news & comments. Lots of agendas. Not sure it is as relevant as you think.

    Reddit as a whole, sure. The front page itself though? I don't know how others use it, but my frontpage is populated by my favourite subreddits, which are luckily mostly free of politics. TBH I have no idea how the majority use Reddit, but don't confuse the front page with all of Reddit. (As a side note, yesterday I went on /r/The_Donald out of morbid curiosity. I'm not sure what I expected, but it was rather shocking).

      I've not read the reddit "frontpage" in years. I do run into it when I'm not logged in, but I don't look at it at all.

You are confusing what I've said. Just because he's an idiot doesn't mean that he's not effective. Apparently reality is awarding an idiot right now. However, this doesn't make it a cunning plan. The main point here is that an effort to combat an idiot with sleazy advisors and good instincts looks quite different to the effort that you'd go to if you were trying to counter a secret mastermind who is just playing dumb. I'm amazed at the number of Random Know-it-all Lefty Bros out there who seem to think that overestimating Trump's intelligence and painting everything as a sophisticated plot marks them as somehow more sophisticated and right-on. I suspect you are one of them, with your raving about how I'm "easily duped" by Trump's typo. Jeez.

  Apparently becoming a multi-billionaire is possible for "idiots".
