The election is upon us

The election is upon us.

What was Sup Forums like at this time in 2012? I am told that Mittens contrary to popular belief by CTR wasn't as popular as that one picture made him appear.

So tell us about your 2012 experience.

i was here but idr 2bh

The general election candidate with the dankest memes always wins the election.

less shitposting more butthurt

there was no Sup Forums in 2012

Was totally unexcited by his candidacy. He disappeared in the last two weeks of campaign. He was a big puss.

...

wat picture

i stand corrected there was.
but there werent hardly any memes. mostly hate black people obama is anti christ cant be trusted he will take our guns type thing

Don't remember seeing the few who supported Mittens getting others annoyed on here?

the main thing is there wasnt many people here. it wasnt popular Sup Forums was still to new. and many people thought it was the new /new/ at the time. people went to Sup Forums alot pretty much

A collection of screencaps of posts supporting Romney. And it looks similar to Trump's hype.

Basically trying to say "IT WILL BE LIKE "2012 AGAIN! DRUMPF BTFO!"

He was a boring candidate. No personality whatsoever. Pretty much the polar opposite of Trump.

I wish he was running right now though since Hillary would have no chance.

They all thought he'd win, the same way everyone thought Ron Paul would win.

The same way you guys think Trump will win.

Sup Forums gets more desperate and doomsday fantasizing with each election. All they want is meme candidates.

Hillary is this election's Romney

He wasn't particularly popular on Sup Forums but he had a small die-hard following plus a lot of posters who mildly supported him because they despised Obama.

There were a lot more libertarians back then, there were even a few non-ironic Johnson supporter threads.

Basically the same as it is now except Mitt Romney instead of Donald Trump and no frogposting.

no feminism
no trans
no japan superior women threads
lot of waifu threads
lot of ponies threads

No, most people backed Ron Paul. Romney posting was on level with Cruz or Hillary posting you see here now.

there are numerous parallels between Romney in 2012 and Hillary in 2016

> boring as fuck candidates
> both in debt to the globalists
> both did well in polls before the election

Hillary, of course, got more support from the Media, but they seem similar to me. Both corrupt as fuck.

both blown out in the end by reality

>they
>you guys

Get the fuck out.

Ron Paul was legitimately one of the best candidates in US presidential history, though.

Paul was followed during the primaries. After he dropped out, Sup Forums shifted their retardation to Romney

The fact that he's mormon killed his campaign before it started.

Fuck if It goes the wrong way again you'd fill an entire series of chronicles of Trump will win posts. Hope mine are capped. Desu.

Trump is the molotov bottle thrown at Washington. I think a good 80% is tired of the bullshit pulled out by Obama's administration. Economy isn't growing at a good pace, productivity increased so much that many jobs went lost, inequality increased. He did the exact same opposite of what he run for, fuck him and dems, seriously.

what went wrong?

Romney was bland and boring. Voted Obama.

There was a narrative that the polls were modeled inaccurately with census data and Romney was actually up.

Turns out minority's were actually undersampled and everyone got btfo

Watch "Mitt" to see the exact moment his heart breaks.

I've only voted Republican and didn't think he stood a chance. Zero surprise seeing him lose to Obama.

I sat back and watched really. I remember it was mainly Ron Paul and Romney. At least back then you could have a civil discussion until shit happened. Still this place will change again throughout time, stormfags are still not welcomed here. Don't know why they continue to get on Sup Forums or Sup Forums entirely

>a literal Socialist

my first election. Was pretty disappointed that Mitt didn't pull through. I also didn't care about the election until a month before before it was incredibly boring. This election however, has been entirely different. I've been on the trump train since the first day, and its been one crazy year and a half. Trump will definitely win. Not only will he win, he will flip states that haven't gone red in decades

That's like the opposite of now where they over sample democrats and undersample Independents.

>stormfags are still not welcomed here

this board is basically stormfront-lite

...no?

You're in a for a rude awakening on Wednesday

Not talking about Ron

Please I remember Sup Forums told them all to go after what they did to /n/ back then

Newfag doesn't know Sup Forums didn't exist in 2012

Nice poat

Did you just imply a D+9 turnout?

Hahahahaha

Romney was just a weirdo. I didn't care enough to vote for that one, because I never liked Obama, but Romney also seemed bad. Obama did better in his second term anyway. I do miss Paul, though.

Good spot Brazil


They're basically the same neo con candidate

This meme is new

Most people here were supporting Paul. A few dingleberries supported Romney but were only doing it for the (You)'s.

The general feeling was more one of "fuck the establishment" than it was enthusiasm for any candidate. Most people didn't care, including myself.

this

I really doubt this collage is genuine. I never saw it until about 2 months ago.

Milquetoast, wood glue, cold oatmeal, special underwear, these are all words to describe Romney.

I actually thought he was going to win, sadly I was memed and the king monkey won again.

wasn't on Sup Forums as much in 2012
but there was no /Romney/ General like there is one for Trump. No excitement.

Sup Forums was never a Romney board, and didn't hate Obama as much as they hate Clinton.

Ron Paul was still the top meme, and both were considered establishment shills. There were more pro-Romney than pro-Obama posts, but it wasn't a board wide mania like Trump's support is.
It also got super delusional in the last week or so, when it was obvious Obama was going to win handily. As you can see, virtually no one in the world knows what's going on with this election or what will happen. It's a more confusing time.

Sup Forums 2016 is not comparable to Sup Forums 2012.

Both candidates were considered shills*

>I didnt know it existed back then
>but I know what was on it

wew lad

Mittens is still the sexiest grandpa ever.

She also completely disappeared from the media just like Romney.

There were daily Ron Paul threads saying how we could have stopped this etc. Romney was more liked here than Obama but there was little hype.

Sup Forums wanted him to win but nobody was really excited about a Romney presidency. what we're seeing with Trump nationwide is unprecedented

Completely boring candidate.

Its real. I've been here for 11 years.

>we had a counter of the votes the election day
>Sup Forums was sucking Romneys dick non stop
>over 9000 threads like with Trump
>RonPaulITriedToWarnYou.wad
>Romney started with the lead
>republishits excited as with Trump
>California reverts it
>Baruch Onegro wins
>republicucks REKT
>lulz
>Sup Forums goes back to normal after some days with jews and conspiracy threads, etc
>this time Sup Forums is heavily infested with newfags, plebbitors, and other shit so don't expect Sup Forums to fix easily like in 2012

Etc.
