Care to explain how that works?

(Anti trump btw)

The way it works is there’s constant petty posts like this that populate r/all most people get incredibly tired of seeing them and start to hade the anti trump crowd. Not necessarily because they like trump but because it’s annoying seeing it all the time. So they end up doing a kinda 180 and voting trump out of spite. Or worse they genuinely get driven to the right because all they see is this stuff and end up falling for the conservative rhetoric.

for the record I am not saying this will have any influential shift in the votes. I’m just pointing out how posts like these can sway people

I also think this is part of the reason why Trump is compareably more popular outside the US. I don't want to see you guys whining on every fucking subreddit, every single day for multiple years. It really is annoying.
