 Some people actually believe "the humor." 
 That's literally how he became president 😂 Back in 2014/15, /r/The_Donald was just shitposts and memes making fun of Trump. It was mostly people from /r/fatpeoplehate that needed a new home after their sub was banned. So they went there to rip on Trump. After a while, people started to believe the memes and shitposts. Slowly over a year or so it became a fan subreddit. It was wild to witness. It kind of reminded me of the old 4chan memes that people outside 4chan started to believe. 
 I told someone today I never want anyone to talk to me about drag queens/positive role models for kids again because our incoming President literally gestured sexual innuendoes in front of a crowd and on nationally tv less than a month ago.
