Each day there are at least 72.4 new disasters caused by the Trump administration. It seems like Trump and his billionaire N@zi pal Elon, are intentionally accelerating the collapse of the US and world politics as we know it. Who could have predicted they’d hand racist teenage internet trolls access to sensitive government information? Well…. A lot of people who have watched the darker corners of the internet could have warned about some of the stuff we’re seeing now. The presence of similar anti-minority themes, the rationalization of hate and online harassment campaigns have been observed in many rightwing spaces over the years. But Gamergate served as a blueprint for so many of them.

Who paved the way for this nightmare? Was it Rational Centrists who often legitimized rightwing fearmongering, Liberals? Both sidesy media? Was it the Dems who enabled a genocide? Or the people who refused to vote for them? Join me as I explore this topic.
