Irony has always been a tool of the far right, from the nazis to the Christchurch shooter. How 4chan and t_d use it is not especially different.

I agree on that, but I think this case was a bit different. A lot of the early posts were making fun of Trump pretty thinly veiled.

There were some subreddits that were taken over by the people they made fun of, /r/gamersriseup started like that before it took a turn IIRC
