POTUS is the greatest troll on earth. He is a living meme.
Memes wrap truth in Alinsky methods and throw it right back at them. POTUS laser focuses on his target, personalizing his attack. He then ridicules them.
When they say "Yo mama had a fat butt" He says it right back pointing at them with the right inflection so that everyone knows he means their mama birthed a fat butt.
It isn't mere reflection, it is the seed of truth in it that makes it so effective.
Memes are the same thing: graphic Alinsky attacks with truth at the heart of it. Yeah, they aren't polite. But they had been winning because polite people just walked away from the rudeness.
Their attacks were shallow and based in lies. Memes are nuggets of truth. And sometimes its just fun to play in the mud.
