Comment on Anon remembers moot

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.

Oh absolutely, Trump is the embodiment of the stereotype of an American. He is everything wrong with the United States of America distilled down and wrapped up in a cheap suit. He is such a characture of an American that finally some Americans are looking at themselves in the mirror and saying maybe we are this. Unfortunately half of the people who do would rather embrace the things Trump represents than face the uncomfortable truth that they’re wrong, grow, and admit maybe the problem is coming from inside their house.
