>It was a cringe larpfest that ended in disaster and killed /pol/larping
/pol/ is stronger and more prevalent than ever, so I don't think it did. Also, those weren't nazis despite the media's claims, but American nationalists.
>Trump's success had nothing to do with it
Trump's victory in the election emboldened the right, and the whole thing itself helped escalate anti-Trumpism to new levels, making his later victory increasingly certain.
>I don't know why you're so keen on defending it. It was a cringe larpfest that ended in disaster and killed /pol/larping.
Because you're acting like it wasn't a meaningful blow to the left when it clearly was. I can't say what the original goal was, but it did so much for pushing American politics into two clear camps, making it easy to lump in all the globohomo, degenerate shit into the left-wing one and making the left increasingly hysterical and violent at the same time.
