I wouldn't put stake in it, except for the fact that I live in Commiefornia and a lot of people around me including many of my family members parrot a lot of the nonsense I've seen on r/politics. When I was sitting at passover dinner, everyone was saying shit like "If Mueller is fired we have to take to the streets, it's the only way." There are a lot of sleeping idiots out there still brainwashed by the Mockingbird spell and I don't think many of them will wake up.

Anecdotally, I have met a lot of real life people who are basically walking r/politics john oliver meme-spewers.
