Researchers at University College London developed a new way to
measure how memes are made and spread. What they found won't
surprise anyone who's peered into the darker parts of the internet in the
last few years: The most toxic, yet most effectively spread, memes are first
shared on two places, the subreddit r/the_donald and 4chan's "politically
incorrect" forum, called /pol/

Donald Trump, Internet, and Memes: WE DON'T NEED MORE CAMERAS
POINTED AT CITIZENS
WE NEED MORE CAMERAS
POINTED AT POLITICIANS
Kurt Nimmo writes:
From Donald Trump’s perspective, the intelligence operation directed against his presidential campaign is “one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history."
[And yet]
The NSA has perfected the art of surveillance—reading our emails, chats, DMs, texts, following us around on the web, and listening in and tracking our phones, which are described as “smart.”
For Donald Trump, this massive unconstitutional surveillance is not a problem.
