Washington Post: Anthony Weiner's Butterfly Effect Might Have Caused Trump's Election

Did Anthony Weiner tweeting a photo of his crotch in 2011 lead to a series of events resulting the election of Donald Trump in 2016? That is the intriguing "butterfly effect" question posed by a Washington Post article by Avi Selk, "Decisions that shaped the decade."

Although Selk did not use the term "butterfly effect," that is basically the premise of his article which showed how small events in the 2010s decade caused big changes, including the chain of events brought about by Anthony Weiner, that led to the ruin of Hillary Clinton's campaign in the last days over emails on his laptop, enabling the election of Trump.

So basically Anthony's Weiner was the "Butterfly Effect" cause of Trump's 2016 election. That thought must drive Democrats MAD when they think about it.

So instead of wasting time on Shampeachment, they should be working on a Liberal Terminator to go back in time to that fateful day in 2011 when Weiner hit the wrong button on Twitter and accidentally posted his favorite part in public. A humane terminator would just pull Weiner's mouse away from him and hit the private message button for him. Thus stopping the chain of absurd, but ultimately fateful events, that led to Trump's 2016 election victory.

Or just maybe if Hillary Clinton had not been Corrupt AF she could’ve won.

It is most difficult for me to understand how someone could make a living writing/publishing this type of drivel!

Oh! I forgot! It is the Washington Compost!

Nevermind!

Where is the laptop ?

Democrat Chaos Theory. Film at 11.

Where is Huma these days?

The left just refuses to accept the real reasons that Trump was elected. The longer they continue to delude themselves with these inane theories, the better.

They’ll continue to get hammered at the ballot box until they accept reality, thus far only a few have.

So, PJ Gladnick is Hillary’s Newsbusters pen name. Got it.

[pioneerstakethearrows]

Unbelievable. Still looking for someone to blame! Pathetic.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Growing more absurd by the day...

When Trump invited the Clinton victims to the debate it was sealed. Americans were sick of the Clinton’ corruption.

[a fool in paradise]

The FBI had a smashing time looking for evidence on it. So sad nothing of use could be determined from it to investigate Hillary. < /s >

[Frapster]

Trump caused his own win. He came in and did his thing and it resonated with a substantial part of the electorate.

[a fool in paradise]

Americans including the press were sick of the Clintons’ corruption in 2008 and they wagged their tongues and even called them racists (not just for running against the Golden Child Barack Hussein Obama).

All of that was swept under the rug after she folded her campaign for a cabinet position.

[Mr. K]

There was no ‘one-thing’.. it was decades of build up.

Trump was the anti-swamp.

BOTH PARTIES SUCK ASS

The democrats would vote for turning the country into a dumpster tomorrow, the GOP elite would phase it in over a 5 year plan- that was the only difference.

[Repeal The 17th]

“...(blah, blah, blah)...Might Have Caused Trump’s Election...”
-
3 years later, and the Democrats are still trying to
figure out what happened.

[HighSierra5]

Does AF mean what I think it means?

[a fool in paradise]

When both Clintons are gone from this mortal coil there will be “tell all” books by insiders.

Same sort of journalists who knew that Ted Kennedy told Dead Mary Jo jokes but held back on sharing that detail until he’d died.

Actually, it does make a lot of sense. I am a big believer in the Butterfly Effect or how seemingly small unimportant things can have an incredible impact on future events. For example, if a small rock in space had been in a slightly different position in space and when it hit a much larger rock sending it into a just a very slightly different angle, millions of years later it would have missed earth, thus NOT hitting in the Yucatan and NOT bringing an end to the age of the Dinosaurs. Sure, dinosaurs might have eventually gone extinct but it would have been millions of years later thus not allowing the rise of mammals in time for humans to develop thus preventing me from posting this.

More recent history is replete with examples of the butterfly effect.
