One of Donald Trump’s most ardent fringe message boards appeared to turn on its candidate of choice during Monday night’s debate, saying he “got played” and that “this was not supposed to happen.”

4chan, the alt-right forum that Trump and his campaign surrogates have mined for memes and image macros to repurpose on campaign Twitter accounts as recently as two weeks ago, devolved into arguments about whether the usually uniformly pro-Trump website had been overrun by “shills” or if the candidate had simply lost the debate.

4chan’s de facto white-nationalist mascot Pepe, a cartoon frog that has come to represent both pro-Trump and anti-Semitic users on the site over the last year, even had its hand Photoshopped onto a smiling Clinton. Another meme showed Pepe pointing a machine gun at the back of its head.

A third showed the mascot drinking wine, along with the caption “Just for the record I never actually supported Trump. I just did it for the memes.”

Back on 4chan, conspiracy theories still prevailed. One user thought he noticed a dark spot on Clinton’s clothes.

“Why would you ever vote for a person who DROOLS on her own clothes?” the user wrote, circling the spot with Photoshop.

Other users responded quickly. “That’s a microphone shadow, ya dingus.”

political reporting!

[Dennis]

I should have become a journalist.

Fucking just randomly browse /pol/ and report some memes and trolls at face value.

[brawndolicious]

I have no faith in Trump's voters turning out anymore. The guy is on video being really cruel and disgusting to a slightly overweight beauty pageant winner.

They'll vote for a dude who might start WW3 but not if that causes their wives to never have sex with them again. This is Americuh.

lol tho at the belief that Trump would have a chance if he was more articulate....we are mostly a minority nation unlike European countries.

[CatsCatsCats]

Lol sadly there are women who want that kinda guy (or at least accept him)

"My mic didn't work."

"The moderator was mean to me."

It's always nothing but empty excuses from this guy when things don't go his way.

[zomgee]

Trump is now saying the moderator was unfair WHAT moderator?

Why, just look at this hard hitting article on Breitbart:

A close analysis of the transcript of the first presidential debate on Monday night shows that moderator Lester Holt of NBC News asked 15 questions exclusively of Republican nominee Donald Trump, and only 2 questions exclusively of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

And where do they glean this information? This hard-hitting journalism?

The analysis, posted on social media and drawing intense attention on Reddit, walks through the entire 90-minute exchange and notes Holt asked six questions of both candidates, in addition to Trump’s 15 and Clinton’s two.

Yesterday the website Funny or Die released an episode of “Between Two Ferns” in which the host, Zack Galifianakis, interviewed Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately, Galifianakis lost all credibility with this interview.

America should be infuriated, and Galifianakis should be ashamed. We deserve better than this—better than a comedy yes-man who is willing to treat a known criminal as if she were a normal run-of-the-mill politician. This election is about much more than that. I hope Galifianakis will realize his mistakes and apologize; if he refuses to do that, I hope he closes down his Between Two Ferns segment before he does any more damage to the American republic.

[agrajag]

Nothing about Pepe's White Supremacist leanings? Only a small slide of Trumpepe. What kind of alt-right video is this?

[benjipwns]

He knows that the only path to true communism is through a workers revolution not incrementalism.

It's all part of the long term plan.

That article is so clever. Contrasting the coverage of one candidate against the other. How the funny ha ha people are so mean to Trump.

So clever!

AKA: sad frog

I told you guys, I warned you dog. Pepe is now sad frog. He started out happy.

[benjipwns]

Many variations of the meme became rather esoteric, resulting in the phenomenon of so-called "rare Pepes."

[agrajag]

Abortions for some, miniature Pepes for others.

Gonna need a Krugman article on the economics of rare Pepes.

[Brehvolution]

I think the Trump voters are just feeling like they were a demographic that was left behind in modern America.

Weird that people and their hatred of socialists are voting for a government they believe will take care of their poor decisions. They are in for another CONservative job. Happy to win the election. Shocked will they be that nothing happened for them. Suckers.

The

Fuck

 

That Trump vs. Obama narrative is kind of flawed? It's not like Trump is going up against Obama. Barack Obama already served his two terms, and if they were to go head to head, he would curb stomp Trump so hard that his head would spin. Believe me. It would be a tremendous stomping. You would love it.

Conservatives are divided to be fair as he's not exactly a shining light of...anything good. I think he's basically saying that "if you're a honkey you get to be at the head of the line (again), no education/skills needed".  Ascribing a formal philosophy to it feels undeserved for a guy who barely sounds like he understands the words he says out loud.

Jews Lizard overlords must be desperate if they're ordering one of their longest con puppets to drop the mask & any pretense of political divide to prop Hillary up ! FEMA death camps are coming fellas, believe it.

I expect left activists to delight us with cringey forced counter-memes now. "Poochy the dog is a really tolerant, cross sectional meme. He loves equality in the workplace and fact checking Republican statistics, FUN FUN FUN share him now ! LMAO"

lol tho at the belief that Trump would have a chance if he was more articulate....we are mostly a minority nation unlike European countries.

Heh, I think you're underestimating the issue here. Even if Trump get demolished come election and has no path to a win in the electoral college, you're still left with a major chunk of the voting population espousing an hostile view of the system, establishment, institutions, like 15 to 25%... They're too numerous to just leper out of the political discussion. In a way it's just the Tea Party v2, but it's not going away anytime soon. The far right in France, as of now and under the Fifth Republic, never was even close to winning the presidency and has currently only two MP at the national assembly, but they steer the whole political discourse way to the right. The scale can also be tipped by external events, just look at how far Bush the lesser went after 9/11.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Watched most of the debate yesterday, it's hard to really understand how stupid Trump is.

Like on Cyber Security and warfare he started talking about being endorsed by the Customs and immigration officers (?) and his ten year old son being good at computers (?)

Make Amerrica Great Again

[james]

Hillary needs to run "it's business"  ads in Miami, Vegas, Fresno, and any other city that got hit especially hard in the housing crisis.


As an aside, Hillary is a poor debater, and would have been creamed by Chris Christie or Rand Paul. Thank God all she had to do was stand there and smile, and let Trump destroy himself.

She is slow on her feet. Her humor is atrocious. And she is as smooth as a michigan back road.

Although to be fair, Obama spoiled us.

[Stoney Mason]

Chris Christie or Rand Paul.

Yes. The very people who trump pretty much shit on and emasculated by being his dumb old self.

[james]

Yes. The very people who trump pretty much shit on and emasculated by being his dumb old self.

Nope. He destroyed Rubio and Jeb. Neither of them would have destroyed Hillary.

He never went against Christie. They were best bros.

Rand got run over by shouting, but he would have beaten Hillary.

[Stoney Mason]

I'll eagerly await President Christie and Rand in the future.

[Trent Dole]

Think they'll try Jeb! again in 2020 or will it be some other rando?

[Great Rumbler]

Think they'll try Jeb! again in 2020 or will it be some other rando?

No one in the 2016 pack has any value left after what's happened this election. Ted Cruz will definitely give it a shot, though.

[TakingBackSunday]

I'm guessing Paul Ryan

[Stoney Mason]

Think they'll try Jeb! again in 2020 or will it be some other rando?

Jeb is done. So are most of those other guys but plenty of them will try again. What else have they got to do?

[CatsCatsCats]

It'll be Shkreli 2020

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

Rand Paul, Scott Walker, Nikki Haley, Ted Cruz.

Boom, there's your 2020 starting lineup.
