man I miss when politics were funny to watch, so many people got mad at each other but in funny non violent ways. Those were good times.


This man literally explained the 2016 election better than anyone ever could

There's also bryce edward brown's explanation on the Waldo moment


I am genuinely impressed on how neutral and honest this video was,great job man


If you really think about it, most people, from these adds and cameos, didnt really hate him. Hell, even the media didn't hate him. It really sucks what announcing yourself as a presidential candidate does.


And then he stopped after his 2016 win, expecting his base to keep growing without work, which is most likely what led to his demise in 2020 as he wasn't really doing much to win over people like he was in 2016.


With the last elections, have to admit America now voted for Biden because people is now thinking Trump is actually an idiot. He recently had a "meme overload".

@Gustav Ferreira They decide a lot of things but not who's president.

@Jake S Yes? Then who counts and announces those votes then? That's right, the FEC and the SCOTUS. The media decides nothing so stop bwelieving everything they tell you because like I said, the FEC and the SCOTUS are the ones who announces who won the presidential elections.

@Gustav Ferreira actually, the president is elected by a group of people known as "americans", who voted for Biden

You do know that it was the media that said Bidon won right? The media has no say in who wins, only the FEC and the SCOTUS have a say in this and guess what they haven't even announced who won yet. Actually do some research and not believe everything that the media tells you.


This documentary is going to be played in schools in 50 years

if you keep going the way you are now, commie propaganda is the only thing that's going to be played in your schools in 50 years lmao

Depends, it may aswell be deleted if we keep going this way.

We watched it two days ago in school lmao

@Charlie Sthill God will remember that, and so will the libertarians.

Bryan Clifford
As a warning against miseducation.    And, hopefully religion.

@jirehtheprovider actually I'd say we're an excellent example at this point;

 1: we were founded as a Constitutional Republic that has representatives elected by democratic process.

2: true Democracy is just mob rule (or anarchy) with extra steps.

Which leads to 3: the political left is trying to dismantle the constitutional checks and balances that keep them from seizing all power as a pure Democracy.

Aaand 4: Trump probably understands VERY little of the afformentioned points, but he hires political aides that are more savy.

Bryan Clifford even in linguistic classes and courses, this will be used as a good example.

More importantly, in most Asian countries formerly colonized by Americans, it is a disgruntled reminder why America is not trustful as a figure of Democracy. Maybe permanently

The Apocalypse will have come in 50 years. Good comment though.

I legitimately think so as well in that case.

Eh he hasn't done enough memorable shit. Right acts like he's the greatest, left acts like he's Satan. Kind of a boring president ngl

Obviously he won because Politics is actually wrestling

@sofaking onmynuts Broken NPC #637848 ?!

It's probably gonna be about how because people didn't actually know these candidates policies, demagogy thrived.

If you were only listening to only the audio it you would think it is a documentary.

or will be quoted in the new cosntitution

@Fred Freddy you called some rando a nazi when he made no statement to begin with.<br>I'm of the belief you truly do live in an alternate reality.

@Fred Freddy you called some rando a nazi when he made no statement to begin with.

@Fred Freddy you're why the dems lost.

Stop calling moderate, disenfranchised people radicals.

@jonsmovies18fan It's going to be a great college course

@ThyerHazard Just fyi, memetics was coined or invented as an analogy for evolution of ideas by Dawkins back in the 1970s.

It's not just a picture with some goofy words on.

You are not using memetics anymore than anyone else is.  You are just making picture-talk for the semi-literate Trump cult.

Need documentary on how Trump sought Russian aid and illegal hush money payments to lose by 2.85 million votes.

Ok class, we are going to watch a short video.

Nah, it’s gonna be a documentary about how the Russians invaded the United States and enacted a dictatorship

How the Russians used propaganda and a compromised, dodgy businessman to undermine and weaken the US.  Our rural people are prone to believe BS is real and reality is BS.

Richard Dawkins invented the term in 1976 in his Selfish Gene book.  But, he realized it was kinda silly and distanced himself.

Perception is more influential than reality?  Historians have known BS can influence the under educated people in a society for ages.

If memes can be used to win an election than that means the majority of voters are stupid.

Bryan Clifford nah memes will be banned and you won’t be able to speak ur mind

i don't think schools will last that long

Meme teaching will be a subject in schools in the future

this video is actually very intresting and educational to watch, it also has great soundtrack.

Sorry, let me translate that.

You think the world is trying to get smarter, its cute.


I wonderful if this will get a sequel- as a “how did trump fail” in 2020?

Probably- but it’s going to be a while because this was just as big, if not bigger.

@Slender Man 186 Calling it a hoax didn't exactly do him favors.

@K Nguyen Nguyen trump handled the pandemic well, state and local governments, not so much.

These two comments  are so funny right next to each other, it’s great.

Covid basically exposted Trump’s incompetence


did you know the word, "okay" is actually a meme?


20:20 "Trump's Tweets are [...] uncensored", that didn't age well. Yikes... Twitter!


Trump knows how to win a reality show. And he won the biggest reality shot ever: America!

@AndyDoesAnAnimateYTYTYT you clearly don’t understand reality tv

Wow, more memes based off my pain. HAHAHAHA, no.

@AndyDoesAnAnimateYTYTYT Indeed, whoever wrote the script for this should be fired. I don't think Nolan would dare to write this BS, what a fucking timeline we live in

@NERAKLH I don't think any reality show could ever be as insane as America.

@AndyDoesAnAnimateYTYTYT I say they fit, mosty reality shows are staged as well

Yeah, but it's gone too whacky. I mean, all of 2020 so far has just been too out there. It's no longer believable.

AndyDoesAnAnimateYT nowadays shit be feeling like a long drawn out cartoon episode

America would not at all be a reality show. I don't know if anything here is real


I never liked Trump because of how controversial he was and his toxic supporters (relax, guys. I’m on nobody’s side. I’m just some guy), but he’s done amazing in the Meme-conomy! What a theory!


19:18 And also because of the twenty second amendment


<b>that moment when a boomer can use the internet to become the strongest leader in the world</b>

*that moment when a boomer can use the internet to become the strongest leader in the world*

Ironically boomers are now as annoying as anyone else on social media

@Wisemankugel Memicus tell that to my female only Christian school raised grandma, she is the least educated most ignorant person I tolerate and only because she is related

@Jake Stafford Not having internet offers many powers which millenials consider unnatural.

@Three Amigos boomers aren’t bad. There actually great. There also smarter then us so yea lol

Well technically he would be a ZOOMER BECAUSE HE EVOLVED BY LEARNING HOW TO USETWITER

Well no shit, he's a billionaire, these people are extremely sharp.

@homer poika fani no he's not, he was born in 1946. This is the first year of the baby boomer generation.

@Unkown then why are you typing this when you don't exist?

@Unkown sorry to burst your bubble but thats the wrong date

@TemporaryChannelName but what comes after gen z?

And then he throw the Internet under the bus by removing Net Neutrality or at least changing back from Title II to Title I

in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

He was literally sipping Monster the whole way through. That's how he did it.

@Actic As Gen Z - nah. Millennials are just Baby Boomers 2.0. The only difference is that they grew up around technology, and because they have this advantage over Baby Boomers they're arrogant as hell. Hell this whole "Ok Boomer" and Millennial meme came after me (a Zoomer) came into adulthood, and 6 years after the first Zoomers became adults. Yet they're supposed to be the newest and most hip generation. You want to talk about being outdated? Well shit bro.

666th like on your comment.<br>Just noticed that

666th like on your comment.
Just noticed that

@Wisemankugel Memicus as a millennial, I have to agree

Boomers: are the bad guys
Trump: Maybe I don't want to be the bad guy anymore

Boomers: *are the bad guys*
Trump: Maybe I don't want to be the bad guy anymore

Gen Z is gonna be so crazy if people can utilize the internet this purposefully in this way.

That boomer learned how to become an effective millennial...respect...👍


better definition:
a meme is a base unit (measure) for information transfer from one mind to another ..

a good study:
Virus of the Mind: The New Science of the Meme
 (Richard Brodie, 2004)


I hate comments that are just themselves meme quotes, but at the 8 to 10 minute mark i thought about your analysis of American politics and said to myself, "never have I been more offended by something I 100 per cent agree with"


An absolute master peice.

More educational than my algebra class.

Right Forgot the quadratic formula but remembered V sauce Michael here

but actually tho. seriously i fucking hate that class and i will never get a job with math involved. 98% of what we learn is statistically pointless

SoggyBreadMan ya for me algebra is just review

Try harder and do the homework; you can get an A if you put the bare minimum work in dude

I see why you didn't compare thus video to your English class. 😤

Probably as educational as your algebra class... you just care more about this subject than algebra.

SoggyBreadMan everything’s more educational than that


How did he manage to be one of the best politicians but also one of the worst leaders at the same time.


Next up: How Joe Biden used better memes and COVID references than Trump to become President

@BlueFox94 Sorry, man. My mistake. That's a facepalm for me

@BlueFox94 Why do you use capitals for every word, it's hard to read your comment

More like “How Joe Biden’s Handlers Kept Him Hidden Long Enough So That Big Tech & the Legacy News Media Can ‘Fortify’ the 2020 Election for Him”.


Honestly, I couldn’t vote at the time, but looking back, even if I could, it never could have been Hillary for me. She is just such an embarrassment, never said anything that wasn’t bumblish and awkward out of your mouth, not to mention that if any one of the many things that were said about her was true, she wasn’t fit for president anyway. Am I saying trunk deserved it? Nah, but I couldn’t vote anyway, so why does it matter.

Mexican here.
That's something that for us foreigners can be percieved as a bit of a flaw in your political system.
even nations like mine (which are much much more flawed) don't really have that extreme bipolarity of having just two political parties.

The times i've been to America, as soon as somebody brought politics, i was out of the conversation because you couldn't have a fluent/versatile point of view about the problems of the world. It was either good or bad, and that was really infuriating to me because i like to have a neutral point of view on things.


Bill Clinton’s meme really stands out there on that timeline

"READ MY LIPS, I WILL NOT RAISE TAXES FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE."
Narrator: "He raised taxes for the American people"

"READ MY LIPS, I WILL NOT RAISE TAXES FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE."
Narrator: *"He raised taxes for the American people"*

@_*ZAPATOZ*_ Yep, he was president of arguably America's highest peak

creepy bill is based, but creepy biden is boring.


I literally transcribed every word of spoken dialogue in this video and turned it in to a college professor as a 15-page case study on how Donald Trump used "Propaganda" to win the election. Will post results once grades are finalized sometime next week lol

I’ve watched this about seven times, it’s a genuine masterpiece


As someone who has lived through the same years president Trump did, I saw every point you were making and  you , hit the nail on the head. I never thought much about Trump over the years, but found him interesting enough that I'd stop whatever I was doing and pay attention, I didn't understand his motivations but came to know him as a winner. If you know what you want outta life, go get it!!.
But to the point I started this comment to make. I'm retired, 66, seen the world go back and forth for decades. But, I'm embarrassed to say that I have and still struggle with extremely poor computer skills, but find myself hooked on social media. Your video scored a 1000% on this subject I ve been democrat, Republican, and I n
Independent. TRUMP is neither but , he NEEDED A HORSE TO RIDE UP ON SO IN TRUMP FASHION, HE RODE INTO DC ON A MAGNIFICENT WHITE HORSE LIKE KING ARTHUR, HEAD HELD HIGH, RODE |N LIKE A BENOVELONT KING. ( HE BOUGHT THE HORSE at a panicked "we hate Trump" yard sale.)( WAS DONATED BY THE CLINTON CARTEL BECAUSE IT DIDN'T FIT THEY'RE NARRATIVE)


This was an absolutely amazing video, and it gave me a totally different perspective of the election.


35 minutes of being told that using superior slogans and soundbites will get you into office.<br>Made me laugh though. Thumbs up :)

Actually a great political analysis video. Good on you Sir Emp


We have 9 Days left, regardless of political opinions the last 4 years for memes have been fucking glorious

@Private Name After all, sourced claims is what separates us from the cult

@Private Name  I mean, you're not wrong, but I'd just like to see a source for some of your claims

@Private Name  Okay, but can you give me a study, or multiple samples of the issues you raise that support your claim?

@cinderellsworth well, this comment became about a thousand times more relevant.

@Seth Harper Do... do you know how the popular vote is counted?

@Awesome Sauce     heritage.org themselves made an article in may 2020 contradicting this study, claiming there had only been 1,285 cases of voter fraud ever. https://www.heritage.org/election-integrity/commentary/database-swells-1285-proven-cases-voter-fraud-america

and this doesn't even support your claim anyway, how would 50,000 fraudulent votes, which were not counted, add up to hillary winning by 3 million in the popular vote? and this doesn't even mention anything about 'dead people and pets' voting.

@Awesome Sauce why are you dodging the question? do you not have any sources for your claims? if not, you shouldn't be repeating them.

@Awesome Sauce so, removing california from the popular vote is fine becuase 60% voted for hillary? if trump won the popular vote should i be saying "only if you include texas"? and you got a reputable source on "dead people, illegals, and pets" voting?

@Seth Harper do you know what the popular vote is? it's the actual number of people that voted, 3 million more americans voted for hillary, they didn't 'just say' they'd vote for her, that's not what a popular vote is.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand - New York is the cultural center of the country. It’s only natural that there’s thousands of ways to get there. In the context of Hispanic Immigrants, they’re mostly in California, because of obvious geography.

@Aiden How would they get to New York? I can understand California, since it's on the border, but New York?

@Archduke Franz Ferdinand you dont need voter ID in CA (where i live), CA also hosts the most undocumented immigrants, more than 2 million. In 2017 Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill, California Sanctuary Law SB54, that makes California a "sanctuary state". Similarly, NY also does not required voted ID, and they host about 650,000 illegal aliens or more, if not up to a million. I do not for a second, believe that illegals are not being used to gain more votes.

@Archduke Franz Ferdinand In sanctuary cities in California illegals were able to obtain drivers licences, and some polling stations did not demand id.

@Rage Monster I don't think what you said was right😐

@Rolando Cueva "You need an ID to vote"

You also "need" an ID to buy alcohol.

Tom Hill I live in very blue MD. There are literally people standing outside with sample ballots telling you what bubbles to fill in. The only thing you need to do to vote is show up. I didn’t have to present any ID when voting.

@Rage Monster you never heard of the silent majority. the only reason she got "popular vote" is because everyone said they'd vote for her but secretly voted for trump

@Tom Walsh yeah since, I'm replying to a particular comment. The video is meh, entertaining but meh. My statement is why he won, not anything else just why. Nothing to do with right or wrong or any other social observation or theory, it's quite easy to understand.

@Skittlesplat did you watch the video at all

@Rage Monster Found the shocked Pikachu faced person.

@Emiliano The claim that large amounts of illegal immigrants has about 0 evidence.

Rolando Cueva <br>The so-called "coyotes" that transport illegals over the border supply them with counterfeit documentation, usually belonging to deceased persons, with which they can vote, drive, and apply for welfare.

@Rolando Cueva Voted ID depends on the state.  Here in NYC, all I need to know is my district number.

@bojarck hooseman schnarf it's ok kiddo, your dad is sleeping,  you can say "fucking" for now

@Emiliano How does that work with Obama being called a Deporter-In-Chief? Or that the only varified instances of voter in fraud being in favor of Trump?

Archduke Franz Ferdinand I’m pretty sure liberals don’t care if they are illegal. That’s why they want open borders so they can manipulate them and get more votes.

@Emiliano are you aware of how you vote?

@Emiliano are you aware of how you vote?

Archduke Franz Ferdinand that still won’t stop illegals from voting

@Emiliano according to loc.gov "you must be 18 years old, a United States citizen and not a convicted felon." you can't get citizenship if you're an illegal immigrant, and even if you would somehow gain citizenship, you would still be a felon

Archduke Franz Ferdinand that won’t stop illegals from voting.

@Emiliano You can't get united states citizenship if you're an illegal immigrant, so they can't vote

@Emiliano ...and don't forget the dead people that rose up in droves to vote for Hillary.  AND the uncounted "Absentee Ballots" of our American Troops.  Oh, and the fact that George Soros owns/owned a large percentage of the voting machines....I bet THAT helped her numbers!!

@Rage Monster yeah no, he was literally Hitler to the left... And they couldn't beat him. Mostly because of the overall stagnation of the Obama era malaise. He won because he focused on areas Clinton didn't care about, that's why nothing else. Not liberals screeching "worse then Hitler," not Russian collusion, just Clinton and her inept and shit campaign.

Rage Monster I’m pretty sure a lot of Hillary’s votes were from illegal immigrants. Doesn’t that count as cheating?

@The Raging Platypus After all odds were against him

@The Raging Platypus After all odds were against him


I’m just here to point out the magnificent way in which Supper’s Ready’s climax fits so well with Trump’s definite and out of control rise to power. Brilliant.


An analogy between Trump and a virus

Well well well


The "virgin politician"  meme is literally Joe Biden lol


The sooner society catches on to the fact that memes are information warfare the sooner we can all learn to fight back


A video about Trump's win that I actually enjoyed? 11/10 would bang again


This is literally one of the greatest analyses ever made. Great video.


Trump played the media like a damn fiddle


I find it hard to believe a presidential candidate could seriously be disqualified simply for a passionate "YEAH!" after Donald J Trump, despite living through it.

@Birdo Of Course! I think with me the main problem is we are both narcissists, and there can be only one

@DSP Historical Society well that and everyone likes an underdog lol

@Birdo What you said sounds right...like what happened- but I saw thru the bluster (and it made me dislike him greatly) when he was attacked and acted like a woman.

@DSP Historical Society he was a big guy, confident, not afraid to offend. I think his sheer tenacity in taking on political attacks and people smarter than him with whole confidence (even if he sounded incredibly stupid) was his biggest strength.

I think Trump was hitting on something important when he called other candiates weak and little while making himself look confident and strong. Humans are not so rational, we judge more on traits that would have been benefitial to ancient humans than we like to think. That "yeah" was goofy and embarrassing and did not scream "leader" to anyone.

You would be suprised how the news can destroy a canidate. Hell Chappelle roasted him too


This is genuinely my favorite piece of content on youtube.


Makes me learn so much more about the presidents and how they use different means of technology to become president. Pretty great video. : )


I was expecting this video to have 10k+ dislikes, good to see we can set differences aside.


This is brilliant in so many ways I can’t even describe


Trump confirmed for 4D chess grandmaster memelord this entire time.


Watching this in late 2021, I find the continuous use of the virus metaphor funny.

it's really hard not to appreciate the genius of it all...


2016 election made the whole nation think “if this businessman is president then I can run as well” dreams can come true folks but at a cost

Good analysis tbh, they said he's a business man I like that. Not realizin a corporate authoritarian 1% isn't the same thing as the local successful mom and pop shop


The biggest victim was our beloved pepe the frog


I absolutely love this video, but your first point seems kinda off. People imply 4chan helped the election not because of the number of votes it has, but because of the power of influence over the internet, and, as you point in your video, the power of the memes.


I'm laughing my ass off and these aren't even jokes, just true.


Regardless of your opinions on the man, he certainly made politics interesting. Gonna be a shame when politics go back to being normal

@speed lover He should, that's how you guarentee Dem winning big, a pretty united GOP failed to overcome the Dem, so a disunited GOP will fall hard

He's forming a new political party to run in 2024 the Patriot party he'll be back soon 🎉🎉🎉


Now you have to make one about how memes made him loose. He was projecting his defeat in advance.


i want trump back :( id rather a buisness man rhat does controversial things over an old man with dementia qho cant even speak

@EndlessChaos looks like you can’t speak English that well


cool but us politics are still a snore fest when compared to the absolute chad that is world politics


My gosh, this is still such a good analysis lol


Brilliant! I love the parodies of Michael from VSauce at the beginning and the guy from Film Theory at the end -- very meta in a discussion of the power of memes.


31:15 it was at this exact moment I knew Trump's victory was inevitable.


Crazy how the mainstream media tries to discredit independent journalism, then it's YouTubers who figure out how to become president


3:32 posso saber o por que de você estar falando dos brasileiros?
para isso você precisaria de uma autorização assinada por pelo menos 80% dos brasileiros.
Existe uma lei clara regente em todo território brasileiro que é: apenas s brasileiros podem falar mal de brasileiros, se qualquer outra pessoa de qualquer outro lugar falar mal (citá-los como memes) essa pessoa deverá estar preparada para ser atacada pelos próprios a qualquer momento.
Ass. Um brasileiro

(Se já não ficou claro isso tudo é uma piada, nem deve ter brasileiro nesse lado do Yoube)
(It's all a joke guys, memes here: lmao, lol, kek, etc.)


Mad respect for the <b>Meme Theory</b> crossover episode 🙌

Mad respect for the *Meme Theory* crossover episode 🙌


You use pro wrestling in almost every video. I've heard things like "pro wrestling is the most singular American artform." "Pro wrestling is a digestible theater which echoes the human experience." Basically, it's the perfect combination of our ids, egos, tribal desires, and most importantly, that we are still essentially animals who use performative peacocking to attract and intimidate. Trump, a WWE HOF, has an enormous ego, he follows his id, he appeals to the base instinct of animal tribalism, and he is the most performative person ever. He is elemental. He's more animalistic than he is human, which appeals to to a certain brand of random, base, violently cannibalistic ape DNA in all of us.


And like all memes... they get old & wither away into irrelevance.

I guess in Trumps case, the own the libs meme got old & the result was that he was a one term President. The first in the 21st Century to only serve one term.

@Jack Delaney Twitter said that even if Trump is the nominee he is still banned, and considering how much trouble Trump is in right now (his tax returns have been turned over to the Manhattan AG), and the Democrats are very much aware of the threat from Trump, I can't really see Trump making a return at all

@AlmightyMedia Yeah. I guess so. Still, Twitter and Google will just ban any 2024 Presidential candidate for the Republicans.

@Jack Delaney That would be PERFECT. But Google and other social media platforms have made that impossible.

Then again, I wouldn't count it against him to run in 2024 and become the reincarnation of Grover Cleveland.

And considering that Kamala Harris is likely going to be the Dem Nominee in 2024, I can see it just becoming a Clinton vs Trump again, with the only difference is that Clinton figure is black.


the virus metaphor puts the cherry on top nowadays


This made me realize that we may very well be hearing about trump 40 years in the future the same way we still here about Nixon. No matter which side you're on we all shall suffer from trump memes for the foreseeable future....now how to I put that in meme form


Yknow, during his whole tenure and whatever I didn’t like him, and during the election I also took his campaign as a joke, but after watching this video he’s kinda a lot like Andrew Jackson in the way he appeals to the average citizen. I still don’t really like him or his ideals, but I have to hand it to him, he knew how to campaign

Now with 2022, gas prices reaching higher prices, Russia invading Ukraine, I want that orange cheeto back, at least the world didnt feel like its on the brink.


Most controversial emp lemon video he ever made, he was brave in posting this


you know you're fighting the good fight when you end a video with "thanks for unsusbscribing."


A meme so powerful they had to rig an election.

@Timothy Dexter

Yeah I’ve seen that website where literally anyone can submit anything they want to type. I’m sure it makes you feel good but for people who care about reality, a website of random butthurt Trump fans telling each other that Trump didn’t actually lose doesn’t mean much


Your video editing skills are un-matched


I put this video off for a while since it was political, but man did I miss out. Great job!


I am not even an American... and yet i sat through this vid THRICE and did not get bored once. you have an amazing talent.


Unrelated, but I recently found your channel and your video quality is very impressive and surprising. Usually when I find videos this good the credits reveal like 12 people worked on it


You actually have to control the voting machines and who counts the vote. When it's electronic that's even more important. In theory things work in a certain way but in actual practice not so much.

Did Biden when or did he cheat, you have 10 seconds to answer 🎤


I dropped a like b/c the instrumentals/soundtrack were so good (esp. the Dr Octagon arnd 4:19), but after watching to the end I think your political & sociological analysis is spot on too - nicely done


The rewatchability of this and all of Emp’s content is absurd.


28:55 SUPPER’S READY!!!
I was caught so off guard watching this video when suddenly a section of a 20 minute progressive rock song from 1972 starts playing in the background. Congratulations on sneaking early genesis into a video documentary about memes.

Loved it, I love Emps music taste, I’m a proghead

My exact reaction. Always great hearing Supper's Ready.


This strategy of using  controversy to make yoursef famous also was used by current Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, that in many ways was compared to Trump because of his political views


9:38 transition to money is so fucking good


EmpLemon is like Santa Claus.
He's never seen.
He gives you great gifts.
His upload schedule is getting close to one video a year.
And he changes a lot for you as you get older.

Also he only works for one social class.


It was fantastic and I think he will do it again!


I just wanted to leave this comment before I watch the video because I thought of this when I seen the title. Obama exactly used memes successfully before any president to boost popularity and just his face in order to receive a win and I think Donald seen this and also adopted it for his own use, I remember Obama being the first one tho


Now do one on how he lost the presidency by using stale memes.


tbh the whole Hillary campaign was pure cringe.

@Toshiba Zenith Dabs were dead even by late 2016.

@gam gam totally not a joke. The comment I made warrants serious responses

@Big C Sorry what??????
umm, a genetic condition is now an epidemic????
there are more autistic people alive today that 50 years ago. that is true. but that's because we have much better medicine and treatments for autism

@Yes Sir He calls for a return to a fictionalized version of the past, a hyper nationalistic and militaristic one. He blames all of our problems on immigrants, minorities, or leftists. He promotes conspiracy theories, specifically the idea that a secret cabal is working behind the scenes to undermine the country.

He even has a group of nuttier followers (qanon) believing in modern day blood libel. Do you even know what facism is?

@Yes Sir No, it suggests that we had a really shit response to the pandemic.

@Travell Criner Haha, thanks. Glad you enjoy it.

@Vilesentry If you ever need someone to like a comment of yours, just message me. I'm starting to feel like I was put on this earth for the soul purpose of liking your YouTube comments.

@꧁Ian Moone꧂ But he won using that same slogan.

@꧁Ian Moone꧂ But he won using that same slogan.

She underestimated Trump. She underestimated the power of memes. She's lucky she isn't locked up.

@C. Watson her economic policies would've left us all broke as hell

Who knows how it could have turned out if she actually TRIED but she was so confident she would win that she half assed it and it clearly didn't sit well with  undecided voters.

Trump: Actually tries to win

Hillary: PoKeMoN gO tO tHe PoLlS

Trump: Actually tries to win

Hillary: *_PoKeMoN gO tO tHe PoLlS_*

Toshiba Zenith oh god, that things been dead forever

Hillary also said she puts hot sauce in her purse lmao

4 years later and shes still upset about it.

4 years later and shes still upset about it.

Not to a majority of 3 million Americans.

Not to a majority of 3 million Americans.

Dag_Will nah more like 100% of her votes were got bc shes not fucking trump. at least she had plans for climate change.

I bet she got 50% of her votes because she ran Democrat, and the other 50% because she's a woman

Still would have been a better president. Yk, actually having a plan for climate change etc.

@peenerbob What do you get when you have Hillary but older, less popular with young people, and not able to play the gender card?

Yeah pretty sure there is about to be a repeat. Honestly Biden "winning" the primaries is the best thing for Trump.
People questioned Hillary's health when she fell down and one time someone spotted a weird mucus sneeze, Biden literally popped a freaking eye vessel on stage when somebody asked him a question.

The truth is Hilary won Trump the election

The truth is Hilary won Trump the election

@Master 811 No, he got reelected because he was running against an opponent so dull and offputting that even most republicans didn't want to vote for him.

@HeterosexualsAreMorallyWrong So what is your point? Obama also got young voters energized with simple quotes and phrases. Did you even watch the video before trying to make this a partisan debate? Obama being elected twice doesn't make Hillary's campaign any less cringey.

Especially the part where she wanted a no fly zone over Syria, which got the response of a General who said (essentially) "bitch we will need to shoot anything down leading to us going to war with the rest of the world"

@Vilesentry i too despise false dichotomies.

@Vilesentry i too despise false dichotomies.

@Vilesentry gr8 logic my guy, but obama got two terms sooooo......????

@jaguar warrior One, criticizing one campaign doesn't mean you support another.
Two, yeah kind of, since it was successful.

What is your actual point? That if we don't love "pokemon go to the polls" we must love building walls and magaing?

@꧁Ian Moone꧂ And Obama ran on "hope and change" so maybe successful campaign slogans are the ones vague enough for you to project whatever you want into them.

What kind of change? Hope for what? Well whatever you want it to mean, that is the magic of being vague.

Pokemon go find proof of your claim. I think she ran a fine campaign, my grandma was very excited. Sadly she couldn't make it to the polls because there was a Murder She Wrote marathon that day.

@꧁Ian Moone꧂<br>Such a unique concept for a candidate to run on, isn't it: "Let's make the country a better place.™"

@꧁Ian Moone꧂
Such a unique concept for a candidate to run on, isn't it: "Let's make the country a better place.™"

Trump ripping off Regan's campaign slogan is still cringe.

But she brings hot sauce with her everywhere...

But she brings hot sauce with her everywhere...

She was so used to backroom intimidation that she didn't have any positive charisma.

Trump will say awful things about you in public, the Clintons: will have you "Epsteined".

@Quốc Việt Đỗ Phú exactly, how am i supposed to interpret this? She wants me to love trumps hate? I already do! Thats why i voted for him!!

They really gave him the fuckin win by giving hilary their nomination lmao

What about the video of those Hillary supporters where one of the organizers was trying to get everybody to chant, “I believe that she will win!” Over, and over but literally nobody joined in, and it was just the one organizer chanting over, and over again. That was really eye opening, it’s like even most of her supporters didn’t actually believe she would win. 😂

But she dabbed, on television... Isn't that a hip thing to do to connect with "the youth?"


Who's here after the suspension of Trump's twitter?

@Totally a Human it’s transcended beyond that though the free speech needs to apply on the internet corporations shouldn’t be able to regulate what you can and cannot say social media has basically become the city square

@Philemon first of the 1st amendment applies to the government, not private entities. If you want to use their sight you have to follow their rules. Trump didn't. Particularly their rules on spreading misinformation.

@Totally a Human <br>He didn’t violate any policies. They violated his rights. But it seems they won’t face any consequences for that. But it’s fine. Because if they keep pushing, and if shit like this keeps being tolerated, eventually they’re gonna go too far and all the people too busy with work and family will get sick of it. Then, they’ll put an end to it. Permanently.

ISIS: following twitters guidelines

@Totally a Human there are accounts violating Twitter's terms of service but for some reason arent banned. Big accounts

@American Patriot You are aware that getting banned from a social media platform for violating it's terms of service is not a violation of free speech?

@Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann HAVE A GREAT DAY


"Don't try to argue with stupid, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience."

I gotta drag you down to explain what this means


@PETRIXXX or alternatively all the memes were focusing on something else

I feel so fortunate to live in the right time and place to be a part of the more free and prosperous country in human history. I love capitalism.

Capitalism with populism, not crony globalism.


10,000 IQ move. He might be a polarising figure but when it comes to keeping people’s attention he’s skillful.


"In order for a meme to spread, it must have a means of spreading".... So a memedium.


Or he just, y'know, spoke straight and didn't let PC nonsense get in the way.


I love how NASCAR has been in EmpLemon's videos since 2017, just snuck in there every now and then


"legend has it that they talked about legit political issues, but historians dispute this"

best line

@Philemon so then what  policies did you vote on?

Yeah this might be a disservice that memes did to use more than anything. People have gotten so hung up on pwning the libs with Twitter memes that basically never talk about actual policy, and when they do, it's with idiotic and hyper-simplified "memey" concepts which might be good for getting your message around when you don't care about facts, but are actually terrible for discussing political ideas effectively.

Probably Trump won BECAUSE of this. His strategy basically consisted of turning off people's brains through a saturation bombardment of simple, braindead meme-format ideas. As it turns out, people are quite vulnerable to that, which is not surprising since US elections are basically reality shows.

I literally spit out my coffee laughing at this line


10:25 the exaggerated power, prestige, and dominance of a wealthy New York businessman


they figured this out so they decided to ban him from speaking to a wide audience just so he can’t be a meme anymore


The same thing is about to happen in Colombia, and I'm trying to get as many people as I can to watch this video to talk some sense into them because let me tell you, the Colombian version of Trump is about all you'd expect from a third world country knock off: some of the flair, none of the quality and 200% of the defects.


Throughout his whole term there wasn't one single night Seth Meyers didn't say his name  I'm like can't we just have one night without hearing about him


I don’t always agree with Trump, but man, no matter your political alignment you have to admit that this campaign was nothing short of genius!

@Paul Andreotti its not really different imo, its sorta like antifa says that they are against facism but  are also against free speech and attack people with different polictical opiniond

@Gideon Bellamy Say by some user with Furry as their pfp

@Resident Krockhead you mean gave North Korea more power and pushed ever closer to a recession?

So genius in fact it might destroy any hope of U.S. Elections discussing policies ever again

I'm going to have to disagree with you. This was no plan, it was a series of coincidences that favoured him. While there were some planned steps to it, those were really not the ones responsible for him getting the vote. It is as simple as celebrity culture, Hillary Clinton had been a hated figure for a LONG time (hated for her perceived weakness when confronted by her husband's infidelity, or her "meddling" in political affairs, or her perceived "Two-Facedness") where as Don is perceived as this straightforward, confident businessman. I've asked Literally hundreds of people, and a reply I never seem to miss is "It was just the better of the two... Would you rather have HER?". No one wanted this, but it was what they had: suspicious politics lady vs. Rich Chad-like businessman<br>Who has more stuff? who has appeared more on TV as a commanding figure or person of power? It was unrelated Character Brand and dumb luck

@Fred Freddy Having the popular vote means nothing. You don't win by the popular vote. Having a campaign to win over 'the people' in general, is fucking dumb, and theres a reason noone does it. How exactly did he cheat?

@Taylor It really calls the legitimacy of Trump into question that The People voted for Clinton.  Add Trump's cheating in the election and his claim to the presidency is even worse.

@Fred Freddy "Clinton still won by 2.9 million votes", uhh, don't mean to break the news too early or anything, but she didn't win. She lost.

@Andreluchi Paiz Really true. I know leftists try to say "we didn't push anyone to the right", but when leftists call people they disagree with Nazis, racists, sexists, all that shit, it just makes the people they insult not want to vote for them. Why would I vote the same as a person who calls me sexist for pretty much breathing? Or a white supremacist for liking memes and jokes? I'll just vote for the other guy.

People whom know little to anything about politics, history and economics discussing it as if they actually make sense. That is literally 99% of every YouTube comments section regarding politics. Hopefully climate change kills all of us. One can hope...

Gideon Bellamy except we have record low unemployment🤔. Have fun with your socialist programs😁😁

Resident Krockhead u should agree because our economy agrees lol

Trump paid off women, conspired with Russians to defraud the US election, the Kremlin hacked and published DNC emails, and the FBI director decided to go easy on Trump and hard on Clinton because he didn't want to be accused of bias.  Clinton still won by 2.9 million votes.

Drizzt Do Urden nazis are communist so those are the same thing lmao.

@Gideon Bellamy I am 100% sure that Trump will win in 2020.  It's not even a real question actually, unless Joe Biden runs

@chILL_WILL idgaf ab either side but you lying to yourself if you think the dems gonna pull through 😂 Lmao gtfoh

@Androgynous Maggot says the nerd who is commenting on a old comment thread....

Jeez..the comments, seams in America there are only communist or Nazis....sad ppl,get a life!

Gideon Bellamy i’m just kinda curious, why is it that you think that Trump will destroy the US, so far he’s accomplished more in a year and a half then Obama did in his entire term, he’s basically resolved the North Korea problem, and our economy has grown exponentially since his placard was placed on the white house desk.

TBH I don't live in the US, so if he wins in 2020, which hopefully he won't, I'll just be like "OK the USA is unsalvageable, I'm just gonna stop reading American news and pretend it doesn't exist". Because I don"t have to care about any of this.

@Gideon Bellamy You're gonna be really depressed come 2020 😂

I believe it's also how the left demonizes everyone who isn't on their side.

But- THE RUSSIANS HACKED THE ELECTION!!!

Well like I said, I don’t see myself on either side of the political spectrum, I feel like there  are more important things for my mind to focus on, but it certainly made the 2016 election cycle much more entertaining than usual.

Yeah, it was genius, and it must never happen again.


This video made me think that political debates are just a joke now.

but that was a MEME THEORY all along >:(

The memes giveth, and the memes taketh away


Emp, you have no idea how long I’ve waited for this day so I could watch this again...


missing trump, he was so much funnier than boring biden

@DANIEL as a Brit, all you have are comedians. Your politics are the best comedy material you ever make, and it’s by accident

He also wasn’t demented like the current Resident in Chief.

I didn’t know comedian was what we were looking for when we elect a president


"The Coca-Cola Company is not happy with me-- That's ok, I still keep drinking that garbage"

Boy that's a quality tweet from trump

So true. Coco cola is the only company I’m incapable of boycotting, lol

I mean... that's a pretty fucking powerful tweet.

Anybody could've tweeted that out and it would've fucking banged, so hard that they'd release t-shirts of it.

wantafanta01 oh to just drink so much fucking coke i don’t have to live thru the rest of this godforsaken year

@wantafanta01 when did they actu-oh I get now

Missed opportunity for him to build a badass marketing campaign for pepsi. Just sayian....


It's so weird to hear his same voice in a non-political-dumpsterfire setting


Other people's meme level: Beginner, amature.

Trump's meme level: President of the United States

@Nam Khanh Ng Grammar has nothing to do with spelling. smh

@Vesdus uh so? people came for the joke not for grammar school, bruh

Just some coronavirus with Internet Access

@Hunor Farkas Eh, the Chairman of the PRC is a lot stronger.

@Quốc Việt Đỗ Phú But Trump is not the leader  of Russia...

Dude you are a quality as hell YouTuber wtf. How haven't i been recommended you earlier . Been binging these man.


the virgin politician and the chad president graphic is an all time classic


Ah, the classic strategy; building up one’s fame then saying controversial or annoying things that only strengthen the person as all attention goes to that person.


It doesn’t matter how much you disagree, how much you dislike the guy, how much you’re looking forward to any potential impeachment process, no one can deny that pulling this off was damn impressive

back in the 2016 days, and i think they're still doing it now, people have compared Trump to Hitler (lol), and while this by itself is a hyperbolic comparison, i think if we were to be fair and accurate to both parties' traits, i think Trump is more of a Massive Wealth Mogul than a Dicktator.

@Angelus_Solus sadly a member from my family, drank the trump kool-aid, i feel bad for him, but from the way my dad expressed it. you feel bad, but slowly you feel disappointed at them

@B for Thigh back when ol' abe was around the republicans where the modern democrats, and the democrats where the modern republicans, the republicans only became racist to get more support from the states that where confederate i.e. democrats - originally confederate, after emancipation, turned left. republicans - originally union, after emancipation turned to the right

Not really.  His fan base is of such low intelligence that it was, in effect, a rather simple operation that any 4chan user with his amount of money and influence could have pulled off.

B for Thigh - All of the other Republican runners were intimidated and influenced by Trump, not the other way around. They also didn’t like his pompous attitude. “You can’t just insult your way to the presidency.” Did you even watch the video?

Not that impressive. The Republican base is racist so if you're a grifter who tells them what they want to hear then they'll be putty in your hands.

Kind of.  The election cheating by trump and asking for Russian help hacking computers of the opposition candidate on live TV was a bit treacherous.

But, the old bankrupsy king and reality game show host did pull an inside straight and the illegal help pushed him over for an 80,000 vote win in three key states in spite of losing the People by 3 million votes.

Then, disaster as trump blundered and corrupted.

Did I just read the script of an excellent podcast?

@Noot Noot Also, if you so desire it's possible for us to get in contact in a social network that is friendlier to direct conversations.

@Nero Bernardino 19? Bruh. Impressive. Do you have many friends with a comparable lvl of intelligence? Its very difficult for me to find people to communicate intelligently with around here. Again, great points. Across the board. But especially that last "paragraph". I legit had an elderly person confront me the other day about respecting them. Their argument was based nothing on merit or accomplishments - merely upon the fact that they "had survived for so long". Her exact words. I was speechless at this and, realizing the conversation was going nowhere, ended it rather abruptly. <br>I appreciate the length reply - it took lots of balls to do that considering, as you said, typically people dont take the time to read such "hard" things. Thanks for the vote of confidence. 🤙🏼

Holy fuck, me. Am I trying to write a fucking book in an age where people can't fully read a news article?<br>Edit: Grammar.

Holy fuck, me. Am I trying to write a fucking book in an age where people can't fully read a news article?
Edit: Grammar.

@Noot Noot The french revolution had, at its core, the goal of taking power away from the monarch and giving it to the aristocrats (and in a lsser extent to the bourgeoisie). Napoleon becoming emperor and taking power away from the nobility is a result that goes against the whole revolution which allowed it to happen. My example with the british man wasn't about his origins or goals but about the strike against the revolutionary ideals. Maybe it would've been more clear if I had used a french monarch to represent the betrayal against the revolution.
I'd dare to add a few things:
A) The system is broken, it has been so for a long time and it was broken by human hands, through both stupidity and malice.
B) We don't know the remedy, no one does really. Our best hope is to try and figure out the best approach and pray we don't fall on the same mistakes of old generations and that the next generations won't bring ruin to our ideals.
The problem is that absolute laws are both impossible and outdated. Impossible since those who enforce these laws are mere men, corruptible, subject to failures and death. Outdated as there are no modern means of having laws be seen as absolute in western society. For a law to be absolute it must rely on absolute power and authority, good luck having that without a theocracy or absolutism. Even dictatorships suffer from the lack of absolute laws.
Connecting the world is a good thing as it allows the flow of ideas and resources but doing it hastily can only bring disaster. Each continent has its own context and reality, there's no way a global government could properly address it. "What about using supercomputers to take adequate actions?" Yeah, and who decides how the moral compass of said supercomputers works?
Also, we can feel the impact of having a hastily connected world already, take a loot at the massive waves of immigration, the placement of pretty much the world's industry in a few countries (that aren't the biggest consumers of what is produced, mind you) and how said countries can control global politics.
Freedom of Thought is one of the best things a society could have, although it is extremely hard to achieve while also keeping said society alive. The social contract dictates that every member of the group should follow the common rules, be them legal or moral. Mankind is by nature a social species, addicted to validation and unable to deal with a lack of cohesion. In other words, we are a species stuck between the brutal efficiency of ants and the uselessly autonomous identity of viruses. We strive to become able to act on our own and as soon as its consequences begin to show we cower into the protection of the collective. As Exurb1a described, "A global superorganism that is still reliant on tribal dynamics".
Also, that makes me younger than you. Only one year younger but still. "Respect the elders!" they say. If the elders and their elders weren't the ones who allowed this to happen then maybe I'd consider respecting them. If the next generations find in their hearts disgust for how we will deal with things, fine. They have that right and so do their descendants regarding them. Since there's no absolute law except "things get dead when they die", then it's the right and duty of those alive to live. In the end it doesn't really matter if the decisions are good or bad, smart or dumb. The cosmic heat death is - as far as we know - inevitable.

@Nero Bernardino Dude. I think we could talk for hours in person. Being a 20 y/o I dont have many people I can talk to about stuff like this. Its just a bit hard to have meaningful conversations over the internet lol. You seem like a real intelligent guy. All of your counter points are 100% valid - except I disagree with the napoleon comparison being equal to installing a british leader... However, overall the general consensus I think we can both agree upon is that A) the system is broken and B) ultimately neither of us know the remedy😆.
If truth and justice are relative to the ruling class then aren't we just as a leaf blowing through the air? There needs to be a supreme series of laws which people in power follow the T. IF we can get smth like this to happen then, imo, we will be on the right path.
The soviet example was a good one, I have no problem admitting. I suppose the only realistic thing to do would be to look throughout history and determine what the most effective form of govt was - democratic? No, corruption has run rampant through any form of this govt in modern times. Theocratic? Uhhhh, yeah, thats a big negatory - much too easy to claim "God" is the reason why you need to tax into oblivion lol. Monarchism? Perhaps the most straight forward form of govt put forward - at least people know that they are suffering and for what reason lol... Seems to me that the prevailing idea is that a Globally centralized govt will be arriving in the next 50 years at most. To me, this seems like, reallly bad... but who knows. Never have we had one to this extent before. All I know is that we need a new intellectual golden age. One where people are actually thinking and not just regurgitating what they "learned" in college. One where you aren't shamed for having a differing opinion, while those same people preach about inclusion and tolerance. The world is broken my dude...

@Noot Noot Napoleon was the culmination of a disastrous revolution. Having a Napoleon, for american standards, would be winning the war of independence against Britain just to put a british man as King of America.
Dismantling the weaponised MSM is a good thing and it looks easy on paper but tell me: Who would be the one (or the organisation) doing it? If is a president doing it, then you should be aware censorship and the control of narrative will be rampant, even worse than how it is currently. If you plan on having a gov. org doing it, then there's nothing stopping it from overthrowing the government by manipulating what the masses see as truth. If you plan on having a citizen group doing it, good luck stopping conflicts of interest from happening.
Executing the traitors is another thing that falls under the "Who would be the one doing it?" issue. What if the new government decides to protect some traitors they agree with? What if they decide  the original leaders of the revolution are the traitors?
You may find chaos undesirable but having ideals that weren't truly thought out is the ideal way to get chaos and most likely end off in a worse state. Having the people at the helm is another good thing that looks easy but in practice is a hellish task. If your group fails (which is far more probable because, well, you lads are humans, not gods) you'll end up with a Soviet Union led by Stalin or, a slightly less shitty case, with a nation being ran into the ground by an uninformed, uninterested public. Take for example California, its democratic system is what allows the situation to be maintained and to develop further into shit. How do we know it is partly fault to the population there? The californians who left the state, mostly, keep voting for the policies that made them leave.

@Nero Bernardino I dont believe covid originated from the DNC; however, I DO believe that all the hype propagated by the msm is funded by them. Economy booming to severely crippled, just in time for election year? Im dont believe in coincidences anymore. Perhaps we need someone with the overall aura of Robespierre - without the crazy 😆. The people are tired of corruption. We need a leader who is for the people - AKA Napoleon, AKA Trump.
And as for setting a precedent of public executions affecting the non-ruling political class - if the precedent is based on the United States Constitution everything will be fine. We have ignored our founding fathers' wishes the last 100+ years. Sweeping so much under the rug. Its time to get back to basics. Dismantle the weaponized msm, publicly execute the traitors (not just those we disagree with). And yeah, we have had MANY traitors over the last few years - some are still holding/running for office...

I dont want chaos. I want order - but with the people at the helm.

@Noot Noot I doubt Covid was something done by the DNC, strong epidemics are a thing even though they are rare. The riots though?
We really don't need a new Robespierre as he was, to put it mildly, unreasonable enough to motivate his own allies to claim he betrayed the revolution, thus justifying his execution.
Regarding public executions, it is a dangerous precedent. If, for whatever reason, the faction you support loses power after such precedent is made, you'll be on the chopping block. That's exactly why I see  what the left is doing as extremely dangerous for them, they are acting in ways that justifies the worst from the other side.

As a non american, I can only wonder how low the Mainstream Media and the DNC will go trying to remove Trump. The riots may very well be the first strike.

@G kraith as a full, red-blooded American... Me too 😂. Trolling is fun.

As a non-american I'm excited for the drama and salt from everyone in this coming elections. 😋🍿🍿

@Doom Slayer Dragon lmao 🤷🏽♂😊😘.<br>Stay classy bruh.

When this entire thread is full of sad people stating factually incorrect statements.
You guys are in for a rude awakening this Nov.
Kek.

I’m impressed in the same way I’d be impressed watching a tiger maul and eat Keanu Reeves. I’m horrified by what I’m seeing, I’m disappointed by the outcome, but at the same time I can’t deny the efficiency with which it was done, and I can’t peel my eyes away, no matter how badly I want to.

@RaRaRasputin uhg, his luck is impeccable, and how he is able to to twist anything into his favor is terrifying! Let's hope people wake up, especially with his poor choices involving quarantine and other issues relating to the pandemic. We can't let him fuck up this country and our world any more then he has

@Loe and Behold He played us all, it's quite scary. For all we know COVID might just work in his favor as well.

Fr.. i dont even knoe how to feel, ive had zero respect for that man... but.. him spending his entire life building a name for himself and using rage and memes to win his seat in the office... i cant help but to have a bit of respect for that

He shaped his experience as a business tycoon into the presidential world, and he blew the competition out of the water. He basically had 5B handed over to him for ads, Hillary couldn't handle that, let alone the fact that of the people that gave their opinion, it is highly likely that the Hillary posse slacktivised (refer to Kony 2012) their way into defeat.

Not really. It's mostly circumstance. The type of person Donald Trump is, combined with the opponent he faced and her absolutely cringe worthy campaign and past, combined with the type of meme-y humor the younger demographic that would support him was into.


it's just a theory, a meme theory, thank you for watching.


Something tells me this video needs an update now that Trumps Twitter was suspended


24:54 crazy how he can say the popular vote and electoral college should match and then he wins with the exact thing he's complaining about


@Cruz I’m not even joking as soon as I read that I got a notification from Apple news saying “host recap joe biden inauguration”

I’m sorry let’s just hope it doesn’t get too crazy today

@Cruz oh sorry. I am trying not to think about that right now 🥲

@thatguitarguyguy Well I was talking about the next president

@Cruz I don't have the attention span of a goldfish so it was fine.


It's interesting to see this perspective. Although politically I don't like Trump, I can certainly agree whether it was intentional or not, it was really smart to play all those moves to get himself into office. He's really charismatic and blunt, which I think is something that was a much needed change in the oval offices with the "corporate" presidents of yesteryears. Put it this way, this was a good video and shed an important light on how memes can affect politics; upcoming presidents take note.

@ihaveachihuahau “More Americans voted for him than any other President.” Which is why he lost the popular vote. Twice.

And that’s the key to immortality. Either be an artist or make your whole existence controversial

Well, America decided they wanted a corporate president again. Biden was unironically voted in by the party most likely to bitch about giant corporations.

@ihaveachihuahau yep. He's  Improvising. Adpating. And Surviving

@Roemon .C Lmao, dude still hasn't conceded as of December and has already vowed to run again in 2024 should the electoral college not pick him... as Republicans make massive gains in House and keep the Senate should they win one of two runoffs.  More americans voted for him than any other President, Obama included. Even if the man goes away, his politics will not...

@Roemon .C Trump 2020<br>Republican 2024

Woah. Now. You should edit that last part out

We don't  need another TRUMP

1 WAS ENOUGH

He was such a shakeup compared to other politicians. I don’t agree with a lot of his views but also I fully understand how he won. In a political landscape dominated by careful, safe, politicians, he took a risk and won. The fact that he literally shit talked the other republican nominees out of running is as absurd as it is funny


Interesting to watch this now he’s been banned from Twitter


You could say that memes was his <b>trump</b> card.

You could say that memes was his *trump* card.

Colin Ledbetter I don't think we have to worry about the Germans anymore just American socialists👍

@7 Star General Dipshit De Turd thats fair though i think nazi's invading would be worse

Colin Ledbetter Almost the worst. Hillary almost got elected, remember?😂

Colin Ledbetter That would be a depressing alternate timeline lol

@7 Star General Dipshit De Turd imagine if Jimmy Kimmel was president America would go to shit in a week or less

Colin Ledbetter There's this conspiracy video about how Trump's kid is a time traveler, that's all lol.

@7 Star General Dipshit De Turd what? im confused i dont understand the joke...

Colin Ledbetter More confirmation he is a time traveler and is just playing a time traveler joke on everyone👍

@7 Star General Dipshit De Turd his "Trump card" his name is trump. get it?

What have you done, you just created another potential meme.


Oh don’t mind me, I’m just learning how to become president.


Trump: President of Memes<br>Trump is also similar to Trumpet

Trump: President of Memes
Trump is also similar to Trumpet


This is possibly one of the greatest YouTube videos that I have ever seen. Who would've thought that using memes, you could literally become the president of the United fucking States.

trump is the biggest meme to ever grace this earth with his presents

Well America is called The Land of Opportunity for a reason!

What a time to be alive

And boy is it a weird fucking time

Ian billgates I know, but it definitely helped him win.

It took a lot more then memes, the political stuff the emplemon skiped over is the main contributer to his victory.


Dude the music choices in these videos are God-tier.


And now his twitter is gone. There goes his influence.

@O K donald is part of a different establishment, but an establishment all the same

@MonkaKonga gotta admit lads, we had a good run. We sent a message to the establishment by his presidency, and boy are they furious.

Doesnt matter, he is still part of our history.


This was really true if only he had more memes in 2020 he would have more electoral votes

@Jeffarry Lounder it’s like people voted against him because of the awful covid numbers and his dismissal of blm and instead supporting racist and incompetent police officers. Can you really call someone else ignorant when Trump himself said he loves the uneducated after seeing how well he polled with them? I don’t even like Biden but completely understand how he got 80 million votes. People wanted an actual president and not a meme who made our country look like a joke.

@Jeffarry Lounder lmao Biden would still win

@ffupnooC Well don't get so confident yet. Past Judge of Philadelphia just a few months back pleaded guilty for voter fraud under the Supreme Court for 2014-2016 riggings. I don't believe the "0.00005%" chance of voter fraud or whatever bullshit statistic that is at all.

@Jeffarry Lounder Nah he won, and if he didn't I'll come back here and eat my words. You have my promise buddy.

Just gonna leave a comment here as a bookmark. Gonna come back and see how this discussion has evolved in a couple of weeks.

@Dog Okay. Sure. I'll be waiting for to come back crying to this comment section again after Trump gets recounts everywhere he needs. Arizona is already on the track to flipping back to Trump also, I should mention.

@Jeffarry Lounder You're just hearing what you want to hear but soon you will come to grip with reality. Not everything is a conspiracy and you shouldn't believe everything pro Trump media tells you. You should think for yourself sometimes or you will be disappointed forever like when Biden becomes president in 2021.

@Dog Uh huh. Keep telling yourself that evidence like this is just 'propaganda.' PS I find it laughable you quote Wikipedia like it's some sort of accurate source of unbiased logic.

@Dog And you're still in the denial stage.

He was going to win 2020. Mass electoral fraud stopped that. Court proceedings are happening right now, and Biden hasn't won just yet.


I made a guess Trump would win when all I saw when I turned on the TV or heard people talking. It was always about Trump. Negative or Positive. Hillary supporters talked about how bad Trump was, instead of talking about how good their candidate was.

Hillary was an awful candidate. Should have been Bernie Sanders. #FeeltheBern

@Solo Traveler - Off The Beaten Path well hate tell you man, but uh unfortunately your going to be ''left behind''

@CJ doesn't stop Trump supporters from talking about their candidate

In a situation where both candidates are trash, you have to pick the least worst one.

@You'veBeenPoisoned ! Trump is fucking awesome what are you talking about?

Hillary Clinton's political platform: "Trump bad; me woman"

Zach Lol mate just look up the electoral college. It was made to elect the president because the common people couldn’t be trusted with political and intellectual decisions in regards to politics. Keep in mind those words didn’t come out of my mouth, they were the ideals of two of the most influential men in American history! Alexander Hamilton and George Washington himself!

To be fair there is nothing good about Hillary so that's all they had to talk about

I thought it was hilarious how people just would not stop putting all of their attention on the guy who wasn't a serious candidate and got him the nomination

Hillary supporters didn't talk about how good their candidate was because she wasn't good at all lol

That's all Hillary talked about as well.

I called it too, I saw how much media time the guy was getting and said “Brand recognition and free press, this guy is going to tear into whoever runs across him.” And he did, I wasn’t surprised by how badly the media reacted, but he let them prove his points (debatable if they were good or not but still) and then he used simple language to steamroll anyone else. Hillary by contrast was far too formal compared to Trump and her talking points were ok, but what really sank her was the “Deplorable’s” speech. That alone ensured her probably most of the possible swing state votes that occurred in places like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida.

You'veBeenPoisoned ! Freemasons run our country and who knows what else. We dont elect all our officials. Its a joke


When the 2020 election comes to an end, it would be cool if you broke down how Trump's strategy ended up killing his chances of reelection under the circumstances of 2020.

More like cheated. Changing the rules right before the election is considered cheating by defenition

@Carson Davis, AngelDemon

You're delusional if you think you have won anything no matter which way things turn out.

@Carson Davis, AngelDemon

For the record, Trump still has a higher approval rate than Obama had during the end of his first term

And Trump's has only been rising since the election.

Trump's state of address videos pull 2.4M views in 4 hours while Bidens' barely only pull 15K.

You guys can't ever bother to listen to what your candidate has to say and you think he has any actual support.

The only real support Biden has ever  gotten is from the establishment.

Biden's victory isn't your victory, it is the establishment.

An establishment that did nothing for you in the wake of the 2008 housing crisis.

A cold uncaring cabal of rich super elites who are only in it for themselves and could care less about the well being of their cattle, people like you.

@Mega Buster I seriously have no idea what you're talking about.

@Carson Davis, AngelDemon

Wow, now you're just flat out being disingenuous and accusatory to try and justify your cause.

Shame.

@Mega Buster Why are you spacing out your sentences like that? Are you trying to appear like more of a cultist? Trump's lawyers and team members have flat out said no fraud has took place. Trump filed dozens of lawsuits and all but one have been dismissed due to no concrete evidence to back it up. Do you seriously think that a guy that hasn't gotten above 50% of approval polls couldn't possibly lose?

@Carson Davis, AngelDemon

Everybody knows that Biden didn't win legitimately

That's why big tech is working 24/7 trying to censor any one who speaks it out loud

You're not proving a man wrong by cutting off his tongue

You're proving yourself afraid of what he has to say

But all their effort will be in vain

Because in the end the truth always prevails

@Carson Davis, AngelDemon

You know damn right what I'm sayin

Biden is and always will be just a puppet

Trump is still living in your head rent free

@Hunter Lemon trump might not be president, But he will always rule your mind. TDS people will never get over their Trump hate

@Hunter Lemon <br>Storming of the Bastille 2.0

@Hunter Lemon
Storming of the Bastille 2.0

@Mega Buster yeah, considering a COUP attempt is happening at the moment. I am pretty disappointed

@Hunter Lemon

You'll soon be very disappointed my poor child

Don't say I didn't warn you

@Mega Buster Your Copium sir is at the door.

Or how about a video about Trump stealing back the election that was wrongly stolen from him through blatant voter fraud and how the Dems hubris and dishonestly was their eventual downfall?

@Justin Davies Well they do die, but they just get resurrected as another meme. Just look at all those memes that follow the "Good thing Bad thing" format or the "Bad thing Good thing" format.

EmpLemon is the best poltiical analyst on Youtube.


The reason is very simple: People are more interested in personality than policies. Politics have become professional wrestling.

@Phyo Kyaw Khaing and from this comment section, people voted for him because he pissed off the left and was a huge "troll". But they're missing the point that a troll shouldn't be in arguably one of the most powerful positions in the world. Even then, if your political opinions are solely defined by opposing the other side, do you truly have any opinions of your own.

@harold iwuala Bad PR is personality. His infamous reputation from the media and his extreme blunt personality painted him as a likeable rascal that's fighting against the corrupt media.

Someone that's squeaky clean with a neat and tidy career is going to appear as a bland person with no personality.

@harold iwuala Bad PR *is* personality. His infamous reputation from the media and his extreme blunt personality painted him as a likeable rascal that's fighting against the corrupt media.

This is one of the best pieces of content I’ve ever watched.


President of the United Memes of Internet

Anonymous Person "All the other kids..."

Bob Woggle The media cant beat the meme industry.

Bob Woggle
He became one and used himself to make himself more popular by making more so that more people will see his memes and make him into one for all others to see.
Holy shit, he's the meme machine that is also a meme!

"Memes are like giving a 9 year old a loaded hand gun." -Meme propaganda guy from South Park


Thank you for teaching me the way to become most popular man of all time.


I was there when meme magic happend. You normies do not understand.


And then the people not under his spell didn’t vote for him the second time around and we got a president with an actively melting brain

The end


Republicans and democrats can agree on memes


this video is more relevant to reality than 99% of the "political" videos major networks make


I stopped caring about politics a long time ago


Weird hearing a guy in 2017 talking about a virus spreading.


People will tell you Barack Obama was the first President elected by the Internet.  I'd say that is Donald Trump's distinction.  Sure, Obama used the tools of the Internet for his campaigning more effectively than any candidate prior to himself, but Trump's use of the Internet (especially Twitter) rallied his base and gave way for the enthusiasm that people feel for him.  For my own little spin, I'd say his appeal to younger people (many too young to vote) was a call to the impact the Internet has had on people's lives.  We are now seeing the first generation of people that were born into society that had very easy access to the internet.  What happened was people stopped other activities and spent a lot of time indoors and online.  It became a lot of watching movies, playing video games, and mindless scrolling through timelines and newsfeeds.  People were learning less and becoming less in touch with reality.  These fantasies on the screen became reality.  Insert Donald Trump.  Someone who didn't use big words.  Someone they could relate to.  Seeing chaos in movies and TV constantly made Donald Trump's notoriously unpolitical strategies seem like he was a character from a film.  I'm certainly not saying TV, film, etc are new forms of entertainment, but let's just say it wasn't so easy to spend an entire day binging on shows before streaming services became so normalized in many homes.


I guess you could say memes were his "Trump" card.

oh this video i just got a video about gold trump playing cards

Fred Freddy Biden is already in the throws of dementia.  Even if I was a Democrat and had trump anxiety syndrome, I’d rather have him than a literal figurehead puppet for an increasingly radical DNC

Fred Freddy Lol trust me, it’ll hurt way less if you accept it now instead of letting the whole media establishment gaslight you again.

Try not to off yourself come November 6

Fred Freddy maybe you only read the polls that support your bias.

I read the polls, the aggregate information, the percentage of trump supporters who are currently unwilling to say so because they’re normal Americans and the left is trying to extort the vote.

Like I said, Trump landslide.  If I’m wrong, I’m wrong.  But based on your responses to the first time I said that, I’m guessing you’re a lot more afraid that I’m right than I am about being wrong.

@LOFT Tm What did you see in the world that overrrides what you see in the polls?  Does you neighbor Cletus and the your other neighbor Cletus support Pres Mini-stroke too so,...?

Fred Freddy because I pay attention to what goes on in the world and don’t get my information from polls.

@LOFT Tm U:  "Fred Freddy only if my weatherman makes a profit from the rain."

That's your answer to counter-trump win evidence?  Just a retort to my quip at the end?

@LOFT Tm Now you are just pretending to have the upper hand.

So, trump is down in the polls.  A poll of military personnel shows Biden and trump even...probably because trump can't confront Putin over bounties on US soldiers.

The RNC crazy train didn't help trump.

Why do you think trump is a sure thing?

Fred Freddy I’m guessing you weren’t paying attention to the election cycle in 2016.  You a new voter?

Fred Freddy save my post and I’ll gladly accept your apology in November.

@LOFT Tm Here is what is probably going to happen:  Biden wins.  trump claims the vote was rigged (again) and tries desperately to stay in office so he won't wind up charged with multiple felonies.

@LOFT Tm Hello,  That's an odd prediction.  trump is behind and he's coming unraveled in his desperation.  Old people are slightly in favor of Biden and Biden is in the lead.

Do you predict rain when you see sunny skies?

Fred Freddy Trump is going to win in a landslide, big guy.  Better start preparing yourself.

trumpian pictures with words printed on don't seem to be fooling people this time though.

I cant believe I got 1000 likes off of a bad pun xD


I wrote a short paper about if Trump’s appearance on WWE helped him in the election. Short answer: no. The WWE’s fan base is primarily Democrat, and since it happened so long ago there’s no noticeable impact on the outcome of the election.

I got .5% on the paper.


This man melts my heart #POWERTOTHEPEOPLE


Geeez man this guy will be remembered forever


Emplemon This might possibly be the best, most comprehensive video dissecting how Donald Trump became POTUS.

Superbly executed and informative while remaining laid back and entertaining.

Quality stuff, you have a new subscriber


Me: "Jokes on you I use adblocker, that fake won't work!"

Me: Still tries to click on skip ad.


Things can only be pushed so far before it become ridiculous, Trump overplayed his hands and collapsed hard in the suburb

ngl: those really hurt him I think. He probably let the memes get to his head.


I literally laughed out loud when he was trying to remember Hillary's campaign slogan.

mascara1888 Clearly you’re not familiar with Internet memes then. People in their 30s generally act almost the same as Boomers, it’s just a meme. I know they’re not actually Baby Boomers.

@Robert Smalls A 30 year old Boomer? Boomers are in their 50's to 70's.

@Steppin Razor I think it was "I believe that she will win"

Maximus Media Bernie is horrible also. Why the fuck would you want Socialism in the USA?

Wasn't it "I'm with her" or something like that???

Momb no Isn’t that the Yang Gang slogan?

You had two boomers trying to be millennials...one looked to be desperately trying but not having a real clue while the other succeeded with flying colors...

Guess which one won?

drops mic

You had two boomers trying to be millennials...one looked to be desperately trying but not having a real clue while the other succeeded with flying colors...

*Guess which one won?*

*drops mic*

I'm tellin ya, it should have been "tuck Frump". If it had been tuck frump she would have stood a chance.

you could ask all 65 million people who voted for her and i don't think you'd even get .01% of people who actually remember her slogan

America is great because America is G O O D

America is *great* because America is *G O O D*

@Etern4l  that is the cringe going through my vein

The Dark Stranger, well, that about what I got from listening to her.

Vote for me because I'm a woman? or something along those lines if I recall correctly


God, the amount of old 2016-17 era memes in this video hurts to look at. It's really weird to think that lots memes and videos in general used to look like this and use these exact jokes.

I know, I honestly can’t watch older emp videos like the BTM & Jimmy Kimmel videos because of that

One of the memes he used was the virgin vs chad meme, which explode in popularity over the past few months.


You went from ytps to short documentaries. I love evolution.


This stuff was smart to BECOME president, but not BE a president.

Prolly why he failed the 2nd time

@THE LIGHT ANGEL ™ ➐ He lost control of the keys that let him remain in power, but he got power first because he easily and smartly got control of the keys that let him get into power.

@THE LIGHT ANGEL ™ ➐ There was no proof of voter fraud, start living in reality, Trump 100% lied.


Memes are far more interesting and have a vastly more complicated history than the average Internet user gives them credit for. Memes referred to behaviors, styles, usages (of items, etc.), or ideas that spread from person to person. Of course, as society evolved, this definition gradually transitioned to mean the silly jokes with captions that we see today.

It is likely that the first-ever meme was created in 1921, and it took on the "expectations vs. reality" format. In 1976, the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins coined the term "meme", and its definition has meant the same as his ever since. He actually explained what it means in an interview with VICE in 2018. He said that memes are the cultural equivalent of genes and that they are essentially passed from brain to brain. They could be songs, accents, or even basic words. Of course, the Internet twisted this definition.

@Pre destinated wow germany are really showing their fascist history

EU fear not thy memes .. see "Boris Johnson" for more info

wharf in ships clothing [[ROCK] PAPER] scissors

@FRUMPY CRUST
Except Trump used insults and one-liners to win and literal internet memes during his campaign.
He did not use "infectious ideas" whatever that is supposed to mean.
The reason Hilary did so poorly is bc she tried to play Trump's game. But very clearly Trump is better at insults than Hilary could ever hope to be.

However it is still true most voters don't seem to care about policy and are more interested in quips, jabs, insults, and catchy rhetoric.

Nothing new there though.

If memes can be used to win an election than that means the majority of voters are stupid.

@Luna take your facts and your knowledge out of here, boomer kid! Germany's economy was obviously saved by memes.

@nekad2000 Germany didn't revive the economy on her own; the Dawes plan during the Weimar Republic, the Marshall plan during the Federal Republic of Germany were both overwhelmingly priamry factors in the revival of the german economy, funded by the United States.

Brexit means Brexit if there gonna try to take my memes away!

You know... that actually makes sense.<br>Also makes you wonder when you see the first draft of it was presented to parliament September, 2016. Only a few months before Election Day when Trump was a clear front runner by that point

You know... that actually makes sense.
Also makes you wonder when you see the first draft of it was presented to parliament September, 2016. Only a few months before Election Day when Trump was a clear front runner by that point

@Lachrymogenic In fact, around half or more of us do.

Some of us live in a democracy, we dont elect our kings or queens.

@Pre destinated Germany is an oddball.Germans are an amazingly resilient people that have brought the economy back from the brink several times and have bounced back socially and politically from devastation. What other people in the world have gone from complete ruin to global economic superpower in 50 or 60 years? So it is sad that Germany will become just another Sharia Law hellhole in 40 or 50 years. And for what? Stop atoning for that little incident between '39 and '45. The rest of the world has moved on. You don't need to say you're sorry any more. Take a right turn Germany. It's time!

i live in Germany. Germany has literally banned memes (Article 11+13)

Grab helium, get biodegradabe balloons, print meme, tie to balloon, walk out side, shitpost the sky

Uganda Knuckles Christ you meane a meme market


17:53 wasn’t expecting to hear some kodomo today. Concept 10 is a good track but I prefer September sun(lumia mix). Also concept 1 is good.


I remember everyone wanted to be Donald Trump in the 80’s and 90’s when I was younger. Even Obama wrote an essay he wanted to be Trump.


This is one of my favorite videos of all time. In fact, 4 of your videos are in my top 10.


Don't mind me, just watching this brilliant video the night before the 2020 election.

(4 days later...)

Trump might not be president in 2021, but we should never forget the lessons from this video.  Not even just because of the possibility of Trump trying to run in 2024 (which I'm personally skeptical about happening), but because there could be someone else who utilizes this same strategy, or has a recognizable name, like Trump did, that will overshadow a candidate(s) that might actually be better (which is how I personally feel about Joe Biden).  This brilliant video shall serve as a cautionary tale going forward.


This needs to be in history class, THIS video!


The end of the video sums up the current situation just the same. Like every time a team loses the other side cheated


@kittykittybangbang hah!! my friend in class was scolded for correcting our teacher. the teacher key had an error. "teacher" apparently couldn't do the math themselves. 🙄 either he couldn't or was too lazy to.

@Ryan David you sound like the stereotypical boomer

Donald Trump is just a wannabe Ronald Reagen

@Ryan David Yeah I don’t think people got smarter or dumber the environment just changed to make becoming confident in things you’re stupid at easier

@NotBot actually I think they deleted the page, I remember clicking on that link and they actually showed an article

@Nicholas Leclerc ad hominem fallacy I see

@Ryan David this redirects to a "sorry, this page doesn't exist"

On one hand, well played.

On the other hand - par for the course.  Make some shit up.

And trump supported the clintons until 2008. People change their minds for purely political reasons

@Andrews Casual MTB They all wanted to be like trump, until they grew up.

Now I bet they don't, lol. He's been abandoned by all his colleagues, with good reason

The power of marketing and putting yourself out there as a public figure. Too bad he's a shit president. If you supported or voted for Trump in 2020 you're just a lost cause at this point. His agenda was bad for working class people. One of the first things he did was make it more expensive for first time home buyers to buy houses. His 2017 tax bill was terrible for reducing the defecit and actually raises taxes on people making 75,000 a year or less; that's the vast majority of Americans who don't get keep what they earn. He continued outsourcing jobs, and gutted the CFPB. His failed trade war hurt farmers so much, they had to get bailed out etc.

@Ryan David Have you ever heard of the textbook industry scandals?

I promise anyone who says people were dumb in the 80’s wasn’t alive in the 80’s. We actually had to do research and learn in libraries. Today it’s like being in a zombie apocalypse with cell phones attached to the zombies feeding their tiny brains.

People were also very stupid and gullible in the 80’s

@Ryan David Yall are taking what he said out of context. He never said he wanted to be trump. He was calling trump the American dream, and he didn't mean that was a good thing.

They all wanted to be like Trump until they realized that he was running against them and going to ruin their plans. Hahahaha

Wait seriously?  Whoa dude is Obama's essay online somewhere?  I want to read it.

Trump should bring that up and say, "Thanks for the endorsement Obama!


This is the last place I expected to hear Supper's Ready - but it fits so well.

Watching this in 2021… god the whole trump and viral analogy is scary now


This is just incredible. The research, the backup, the presentation, just incredible. All of it.


I wonder if I said Trump was the second coming of Christ sent to save us, how many people would genuinely agree.

Our country is fucked


This should be mandatory college civics material.


then 2020 elections be like : Memes vs Virus

watching this from the future when trump is banned from twitter


The word 'memetic', meaning an idea or concept that infects the mind in a sense, while your mind encourages you to spread the phrase, action etc.

Its also based off of the word 'meme'

Edit: it could be the other way around


i still think "pokemon go to the polls" ruined Hillary's chances, but idk
