Way more likely that it was /r/the_donald. In my humble, biased opinion--since I was around there but never really active on Twitter.

But Trump won more convincingly in 2024 without it? That doesn't support your argument.

Trump won by <1% in an election against a candidate who lost her only attempt at a primary and during a time period where western incumbents saw a 10+% drop due to their handling of covid inflation.

2024 isn't a story of how Trump outwitted his opponents but one of how his opponents tied their shoelaces together.

That is so true, and needs to be repeated more. DJT didn't win because he was so great. DJT won because the DMC candidate was so hilariously bad.

There weren't a lot of 50+ year old folks on Reddit in 2016. Now there are, but that's because they've aged into that range.
