It's taken me a while, but I think I understand why Trump is so popular in Sup Forums. The population of Sup Forums is largely comprised of young, teenaged, white, suburban, males living in privileged middle-class households. In this social milieu, conformity is a valued survival trait. The ability to look and sound like everyone else is how a young man keeps his place in the social hierarchy. However, what sets the young men in Sup Forums apart is that they spend a significant amount of time online where they can be anonymous. Why? Because, by and large, they are not able to "blend in," not able to pass for "normal," and as a result they have spent most of their short lives near the bottom of what they regard as the most important yardstick for social importance.
One need only look at the savage bullying, the toxic displays of what teenaged boys regard as masculinity, and the desperate attempts to look dominant -- but which are really just domineering -- by young men whose ideas about what a "man" is come from comic books and Hollywood action movies.
Donald Trump epitomizes what the young men of Sup Forums regard as dominant: loud, bombastic, rude, threatening, crass, and obsessed with material concerns about wealth and power. And the narrative he presents of an uncouth outsider smashing down the walls of snobby intellectuals is one we've seen used by everyone from Adolf Hitler to Pol Pot with great effect, leading to the same sort of fierce tribalism and xenophobia displayed in Sup Forums.

all politicians regularly use language extremely similar to hitler. often people need to be corrected because they accidentally quoted hitler.

Most of /pol is comprised by poor whites from Europe and US.
Then add 10 % CTR at least, 10% fagots, 10 to 20% mudslimes by all colors, with you belonging to all the mentioned minorities at the same time.
And few % for the puppeteers, the services keeping the sheep in the pen while giving them subjects to bite each other.
John Baker
You can't even vote against him, so sit there and cry, bitch.
Jacob Gonzalez
Naw son, Trump is just my middle finger to them. Trump isnt a perfect candidate, but hes better than anyone else running. Would i rather vote for someone more tame and dialed back? Of course, but they wont let that happen. They wont let a guy with good ideas and a polite manner to get as far as Trump did. Trump was right to act so absurd because if he didnt he would have been thrown in the shadows like Ron Paul was. What Trump is doing is the ONLY thing they respond too. So, thats what we are going to give them.

Substantiate your claims
Carter Smith
Yeah, no. Late thirties, senior development manager, married, mates. I've always said the longer an situation exists the harsher the backlash will be. Trump is that backlash personified. If hilldog gets in, the future will be even worse as people are pushed to extreme positions. The next one could easily be 'literally hitler' .
You only have to see one of the education threads here where people say what qualifications they have or unis they attend to have the ignorant white trash meme btfo.

To be frank, it's not surprising Sup Forums would support a leader with a persona that conveys authority. After all, the state he would represent is essentially what has a monopoly on force and to give it to a leader that favours weakness or betrayal is national suicide
Gavin Sanders
I'm open to good ideas.

>teenaged and privileged We've had many polls over the years, although a large amount of redditors came over after the Donald colony started getting targeted, Sup Forums is still a largely mid 20's lower middle class male demographic.
We were the first generation that grew up on 2d porn and hugbox school culture, the majority of the women in our age group is incredibly unattractive partner wise because of loose morals and it made us question the validity of modern relationships. We found most of the loss of morals was due to progressive movements and undercurrents in early education and entertainment run mostly by (((Jewish))) executives, producers and professors and journalists, and it is why we shine a light on those that have undermined tradional gender roles that benefit society. In the US, we grew up in an age where there are no more factories, destroyed by bad trade deals, and we had schooling and teachers that did not foster us onto good career paths early on in technical fields, instead focusing us towards unproductive fields like arts, music and the like. This has created a neet vacuum, where many of us had no prospects outside of McJobs where normally we'd be able to get work inside an automotive or textile plant/factory as a career.
Not every user here, especially the European ones, follow this same pattern, but theirs were still influenced by a rejection of bad progressive policies that have undermined our generation.
Sup Forums is a rejection of failed policies and wishes a return to have something to be proud in.
That's why Trump was latched onto so fast, that and he has the shitposting bantz we can all identify with. If you cannot understand this then you have been just another corrupted statistic of failed progressive policies that will die out over the next two decades.
Ryder Cook
>young, teenaged, white, suburban, males living in privileged middle-class households. Statistically you have just described the average white liberal.
People do not become racist because they live in gated communities insulated from niggers and spics, that's something we make fun of Tim Wise and other high and mighty libshits for. I grew up in Oakland. Contact with other races outside of a sanitized college environment makes you a racist.
Hudson Hughes
You can usually tell when they (teenaged posters) are on. It's usually right after school between the hours of around 3 pm till 8 or 9 pm. You can tell by how the quality of posts drops substantially from decent discussion threads to:
>kek threads >what does Sup Forums think >how does this make you feel
And, so on shit posts. The mods are supposed to delete and ban the little bastards, but they don't really do much unless there's a serious rule violation.
Sup Forums is pro Trump for a lot of reasons - mainly because he embodies the anti-PC and anti-pop culture sentiments we all have.
Adam Reyes
A large percentage of Sup Forums is clearly young. It's obvious this will be the first presidential election many people here have been able to take part in, since hardly anyone will admit that both parties are fucking them over.
