i enjoyed /pol/ leading up to the 2016 election. the memes and trolling were up there with the golden age of 4chan: 2005ish /b/ with boxxy vs tabby, 2010 /sp/ and the world cup, gamer gate /v/, dark knight rises /tv/. good shit.  then the election happened and the popularity of this place exploded. alright, sure, when theres a huge spike in popularity in anything you invite undesirables with the rest of the group. but i feel the constant badgering by the mainstream media and all the anti-trump news - which 99% of the time was pure bullshit, with dumb shit like having two scoops of ice cream unironically being a controversy - eventually wore this place down and made people bitter. it went from a jolly group of anons embracing meme magic to a bunch of bitter boomers.  then covid hit and everyone on the planet became retarded. the antivax stuff was the last straw. i never took the shot but a lot of my family did, and seeing anons wish them dead was enough.  the ogs left almost 10 years ago, op. this is the way every board goes.
