      Basically where all their politics came from and pretty much the birth place of MAGA bros, Groypers, QAnon, etc. The stuff that infests main stream social media today all started on 4chan back in 2015. If bots got Trump elected, it all started with 4chan. It was basically ground zero for the state of the internet now. Subreddits on Reddit like r/The_Donald would have never existed without 4chan starting the memes and trends. There was always a joke back in the day with the cycle of memes on the internet. 4chan -> Reddit -> Twitter -> Facebook.

      Here’s an article that shows 4chans reaction to Trump winning in 2016. It’s basically what Twitter looks like now with Trump winning in 2024.

        Dumb shits, they’ve no idea what they did there, no one likes the clintons, but they helped doom the republic. Already terminal they are just, what do you call a disease you get because your immune system is weakened by another disease? That.

      Anonymous politics imageboard. Full of nazis. Epicenter of all the trump memes and movement that contributed to his popularity early on. Q-anon epicenter. Bunch of incel/antisemitic/fascist/racist types.

      The majority of 4chan is on the politics (pol) board. Its probably the most impactful message board on the site.
