November 5th 2024 meme

WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump went on a sharing spree Friday, reposting nearly a dozen fawning memes on Truth Social even as more and more Republicans questioned whether his endorsements helped or hurt GOP candidates in this week’s midterm elections.

“The American people are still with you!” read the text over one with a photo of Trump’s face.

“Trump was right about everything,” read another.

The self-congratulatory posts came as a growing number of Republicans questioned whether Trump’s support for several GOP candidates – such as Doug Mastriano and Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania’s governor and senate races — contributed to their defeat in Tuesday’s elections.

Pollsters had previously predicted the midterms would bring a “red wave” of Republican votes amid a struggling economy and low approval ratings for President Biden.

“The Pennsylvania Senate race was a disaster of Trump’s making,” one prominent New York Republican told The Post this week, adding that the 45th president’s support was “eroding.”

“I would certainly like to see the party move forward. There are a lot of rising stars,” Rep.-elect Mike Lawler — who defeated Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman — told The Post Thursday.

The 11 memes were made and initially shared by a handful of Trump fans on the social media website before the 45th president reposted them to his page over a span of less than an hour.

The messages ranged from the fanatical – “Donald J. Trump is the best president ever. We love you!” – to the bizarre.

In one image, a now-infamous photo of Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman fist-bumping President Biden in July was doctored to show the monarch making an obscene gesture with one hand while holding a “Trump 2024” with the other.

It’s unclear whether the image meant Trump sought bin Salman’s support. Biden was highly criticized for his friendly exchange with the leader who has held Americans captive in Saudi Arabia and recently pushed the OPEC+ group of oil-producing nations to slash output by 2 million barrels while gas prices continue surging amid the Ukraine War.

The posts came days ahead of the 45th president’s expected announcement on Nov. 15 that he will run for the White House in 2024.

Far-Right Trolls Who Helped Trump Win in 2016 Aren’t Feeling Him This Time

From 4chan to Telegram to forums dedicated to supporting the former president, a scant few loyalists think he can win in 2024. Some are ready for more violence

When Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, the nihilistic trolls of 4chan‘s “politically incorrect” message board were jubilant. “We actually elected a meme as president,” wrote one, not inaccurately.

Ever since Trump had announced his campaign the year before, with a speech that accused Mexico of sending drugs and rapists over the border into the U.S., 4chan and an online network of associated white supremacists had waged an all-out content war in his name. They so thoroughly saturated the internet with MAGA memes that Clinton was obliged to make a speech condemning the alt-right as it manifested online.

But those same communities who once formed an effective grassroots movement for driving the Trumpian narrative are plainly unenthused by the announcement of his 2024 campaign. The rambling speech Trump gave at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday night in hopes of kick-starting a political comeback was received poorly across the conservative ecosystem: Fox News cut away in the middle of it, while major donors started jumping ship soon afterward. And the deflation of arguably his fiercest base — the digital warriors — is one more sign that Trump won’t have the juice he needs to return to the White House.

“We’re fucked,” concluded a user on Patriots.win, a pro-Trump forum made to replace Reddit’s r/The_Donald after it was banned for abusive comments in 2020. “Trump was a bore last night. Please clap. Low energy,” wrote another, alluding to Trump’s successful attack line and jokes about Jeb Bush in the 2016 Republican primaries. True believers tried to push back against “doomer bullshit” but found their comments down-voted by the pessimistic faction of the site, which argued that Trump had no chance of winning because Democrats rig elections. The top comment on the thread about his speech predicted that he will “lose again to fraud.”

The far-right commentators who made a name for themselves on the web with the kind of vicious and mocking rhetoric that emerged from r/The_Donald and 4chan in 2016 were no less disappointed. Perennial instigator Milo Yiannopoulos pointedly endorsed Kanye West as a 2024 candidate instead. White nationalist streamer Nicholas Fuentes called it an “EPIC FAIL” on Telegram, complaining that Trump hadn’t mentioned election fraud, “big tech censorship,” or the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Ali Alexander, the “Stop the Steal” organizer whose efforts to overturn the 2020 election helped inspire that deadly chaos, explained how he would have rewritten the speech, and hoped that Trump would “relaunch” the campaign sometime in 2023.

Jan. 6 was a topic on the message forums as well, with more than a few Trump loyalists saying it was hopeless to vote him back into power — leaving force as the only option. “Nothing else but a March on Rome is going to do it,” observed a user at Patriots.win. “Either globalist cabal, or freedom fighters, pick our sacrifice we’re willing to make,” said a second. On a subreddit devoted to political memes, one member said that “January 6 needs to happen more often” because “government should be afraid of its people and what they can do,” with another agreeing that this was “just as the founding fathers intended.” A 4chan anon ominously wrote, “If Trump loses 2024 there shouldn’t be another election.”

Yet the majority of the reactions to Trump’s new campaign on 4chan — once a hotbed of pro-Trump talking points and sentiment — were dismissive. In sharp contrast to the giddiness around Trump’s trollish antics in 2016, users ridiculed voters who can’t accept that he’s not getting back into the White House. Meme characters wearing MAGA hats are now depicted crying in a rage over a string of election losses.

The most striking reversal of all is that a smattering of users are excited to see Trump run … so they can watch him lose and his supporters melt down again. “Never thought I’d catch myself rooting for Trump but here we are,” wrote one 4chan user. “This man will tank the Republican’s chances of winning the presidency harder than any Democrat could ever even dream of. Trump is quite literally the savior of the Democratic Party.”

It could be the sign of a shifted ideological landscape to read this statement on what’s often described as a toxic, racist, hard-right forum. Or it could be that for a lot of this crowd, the politics never mattered — only the spectacle.
