I'm fully convinced that the "banish them!" strategies from the 2010 era internet is what got us Trump. I've personally known multiple crazies in the US back then that told me they went from Democrats to trump because of it. Yes, they were crazies, but they wouldn't have gone Trump if they were able to be crazies amongst us.
