Not because of that particular comment, of course.

More that both times Trump's base was underestimated as a few malcontents who could be scolded, shamed and dismissed, only to then turn out to be far bigger and more powerful than expected. 

I feel like you're blaming this on internet shit. Sure I do all those things you said but I'm not a politician or of any power in the party. I'm just doing what the Right has done to my side for decades and I don't see what that has to do with the presidential race. Just seems more like this shit from Legite where you say "oh Kamala is such a liar" right before "well I mean Trump says lies but he's dumb so he's not a liar". The left has to handhold all the right voters while they get called groomers and commies. 

That's the thing, I feel like in today's social media driven world we spend so much time online that "internet shit" can't be separated from the rest of lives as easily as it could be say 15 or even 10 years ago. People, especially the younger generation, are almost constantly plugged into social media.
