What was Any Forums like during the 2016 Republican primaries? Pro-Trump from the very beginning, or was there actually disagreement?

There were some people that supported Cruz, so we called him El Rato.

This place was insufferable and the MAGAniggers were everywhere spamming their retarded orange nigger shit.

I think initially, a bit of the support for Trump was either ironic or with anti-GOP intent. But after the very first debate where they tried to cancel him over calling Rosie O'Donnell a bitch and he did not shrink down in the slightest, there was already a very strong genuine support. Trump blaming GWB for 9/11 to Jeb's face at the South Carolina debate a little bit later cemented it.

Yea, that was just me though.

I'm not even American but the Jeb/Trump memes were absolute gold. Afraid we'll never get entertainment like that in politics ever again thanks to everything being a nazi

Just look how Bush mogs them all. He was /ourguy/ from the beginning and America made the wrong choice.

you had a bunch of retarded richard spencer shills pretending like he was the "leader of the alt-right" which all of us were just like what the fuck is the alt right?
and you had milo and ben shapiro who were pretty popular at the time i suppose, it was mostly childish shit about like TRIGGERING THE LIBTARDS and all that bullshit
during the first two republican debates nobody really took trump seriously, he came up on stage and just acted like a jackass and all the other candidates kind of just ignored him and everyone just thought it was weird that he was there. he seemed out of place, he stood out with his body language, his skin colour, his arm movements, the way he talked. you could tell he was the only one who actually spoke from his heart and didnt just repeat some bullshit he had rehearsed in his bathroom
but after 2-3 debates, i dont remember exactly which debate it was but there was a distinct moment where i think it was ted cruz that all of a sudden snapped at donald trump during a debate, and you could tell that he sort of "broke character", and it made you realize that all of these people were essentially just playing a character, the "president" character, same as an actor in a disaster movie playing the president, and it made it obvious how full of shit they were, and when they started talking shit back it made you realize these guys are not any better than trump in any way, they are simply playing by a different book, a different game plan. trumps plan was to go up on stage and call everyone names and it was the most hail marry play in the history of politics and it worked wonders and it was hilarious

Pol always liked Rand Pauls policies the best and Trumps memes the best, and how furious the establishment/corporate media was by everything trump said or did, though Jeb had some really good memes too.

Trump got my vote when the media tried to put him center-stage and make a clown out of him during the beginning of the first GOP debate in 2015 and he pivoted it around by making fun of Rosie O'Donnell and winning the audience over.
Remember that the media insisted that he wouldn't survive the first debate and went as far as to pretentiously dub the summer of 2015 the "summer of Trump".
He played them like a fiddle, especially CNN. CNN gave him the bulk of his free airtime early on.
The level of seethe that he created and built upon is legendary.

Your newfag is showing. The term "alt-right" was used here for years. It entered the normiesphere when Hillary used it in a speech to describe a subset of Trump's base. Her use of the term even prompted a Any Forumsack in the crowd to yell "pepe".
youtube.com
This is all well documented. Everybody who was here remembers it. Everybody who was here knew what alt-right meant. Everybody who was here knows why that guy yelled pepe.
Richard Spencer became a figure later on when the media tried to track down the origin of the term alt-right. They found the website alternativeright.com which Spencer registered several years prior. They tracked him down and asked him about the term and he claimed he made it up. Since his registration of the domain is the earliest known usage of the term, he gets credited as the originator of the term, even though it was unrelated to Any Forums's usage of the term. Since his rise to fame coincided with an influx of newfags, he was able to insert himself and make a successful grift.
