‘Great Meme War’ Could Hit the Media
Epoch Times ^ | 11 November 2016

Posted on 11/19/2016 8:42:31 PM PST by Lorianne

When Hillary Clinton invoked her oft-repeated “basket of deplorables” line, the word “deplorable” appeared everywhere on Twitter to be worn with pride—like a badge of honor. Seemingly, through those efforts, big media outlets created a formidable, anonymous enemy. Groups like the SPLC have derided the so-called “alt-right” (and Pepe the Frog) as racist.

“The mainstream media has been staunchly anti-Trump from his announcement, and if you think they’ll back down now then you’re a fool,” the user wrote. “They will keep working non-stop to defame and [discredit] President Trump, and we must keep working to meme the [public] into knowing the truth. Trump needs help to drain the swamp, are you up to the task? [Expletive] the mainstream media, let’s ridicule them until they become a joke to every person alive.”

And as another user wrote on /The_Donald/, “The Great Meme War is only beginning. We won the first battle.”

I am SO HAPPY she didn’t get indicted (but hope she will).

She was likely the WORST, most scandal plagued person to run for president in American history.

That 60 million people saw fit to vote for her would bother me more if I didn’t think Trump will win over 10 million or more of those for the next time around.

Thank God for all of the younguns, that he won.

LSM = Pravda.

Actually, Solzhenitsyn stated in 1978 that the US press was worse than Pravda because at least the Russians knew their government-controlled press was lying, but Americans thought they were getting the “truth” from their government-CIA-controlled “free” press.

The Marxists knew by 1900 that it was important to control all the information of the masses——to control emotions/desires/”thinking” and they could have “useful idiots” for life. He who controls the Words/Language (input) will control the “thinking” and desires and “choices” of the masses.

It is amazing how much I had to relearn about history, etc. to wake up. It is amazing to watch-—how the ignorant uneducated brainwashed masses have literally flipped 2000 years of Ethics to satanism/tribalism in one generation. All the Age of Reason is being erased in the minds of our children so they have no understanding of anything important and actually believe the most irrational stuff, like men can be women.

All for total dehumanization of mankind-—remove Reason and Logic from children, and they are remain purely animals to be herded and culled for the NWO.

The kids on The_Donald at Reddit really did fight the great Meme War of 2016. Among the battles was their creation of the #DraftourDaughters. They do it out of love...not for money like CTR. Those kids were in the social media trenches $hit-posting like there was no tomorrow. Anything to secure the election for “Daddy”. Gotta love this election, it had everything...including semen guzzling campaign managers (Podesta)

maybe a few million who voted will be deported or self deport (legal and illegal) by next time too.

The far leftwing libs lit a “yuge” number of exploding cigars during this campaign season. My favorite was when they kept pleading with us to make Trump our nominee. They thought that they could use that to prevent us from selecting Trump as our nominee. They begged and begged for us to give the nomination to Trump. So we did. KA BOOM! LOL.

“....including semen guzzling campaign managers (Podesta).”

That’s a lie!

It was semen, blood and breast milk iirc.

Hey - they could show some guy doing his thing into a bucket with Hillary draining a goat’s head full of blood and Podesta say “Got Milk?”

I wrote a master’s paper about memes for my History of English course about memes being an open-source and uncontrollable rebellion from mass media controlled press, but I never imagined it would win a presidency.

Someone on FR posted a meme of Bill Clinton and Obama laughing about voting for Trump. I wish I would have saved it. Does anyone know the one I’m talking about?

Lol! Now that’s a photo montage, with the winner at the center. The pictures of the pedos with their mouths all contorted are perfect. And the picture of huma is exactly what I needed. I find her alluring, but this picture of her reminds me that she is bad news.
