I'm not going to say I had no hopes for Trump, since I saw a little of the pre-election and a lot of the post-election meming, but frankly anyone who thought that there was a democratic solution to an impending white minority status, especially delivered by a man with a political history of combating even the mildest forms of pro-white politics (Pat Buchanan), was delusional. The sensible ones back then believed that Trump was a stopgap, someone who would slow or stop racial replacement via mass migration for 4-8 years while whites could be made more racially aware and racially political. That was the initial line of crypto-/pol/ outlets like the Daily Stormer too before this place and the wider "movement" got swarmed by underage retards who declared themselves national socialists to be edgy and never understood what, if anything, was wrong with any form of democracy. So yeah, sure, a lot of "anons" bought into the "Trump stuff", but they should never have been here to begin with, were not ideologically aligned with what /pol/ was, even in a libertarian sense, and still aren't.
As for shitposting, look, this place has been dead since hotdud took over the board out of butthurt and let /pol/harbor redditors who never cared about quality, only edgy ideologically-flavored shitposting, flood the place and in any case has been owned by a mason for years. As for 4chan, it's literally not white. If I really cared about quality shitposting and not just mocking this place for ignoring how it's been deliberately destroyed in front of the user's eyes, I still wouldn't bother with a bunch of mutts, niggers and spics cheering Trump for normalizing Brazil 2.0 and letting them fill dozens of threads a day with less real content than even this place can manage with a handful.

Hindsight is 2020.
That seems a strongly-biased assertion.
Funny that, because what I saw was not a flood of "underage retards who declared themselves national socialists to be edgy", but of integrity-absent libertarians who declared themselves 'nationalists' to be edgy and never understood what a 'nation' truly represents.
I agree, the libertarians were always a cancer.
So go to 4chan.
Indeed, perfect for shitposting.
Seems like a real waste of time to be honest with you Anon.

No, it was pretty obvious at the time actually. As much of an ebin dogwhistle that Trump going to AIPAC to tell them he didn't want their money was, I believe it came out before or soon after the election that Sheldon Adelson alone had funded half his presidential campaign. Going from "the Likud candidate" to "maybe this guy is not actually good for whites" is not much of a stretch.
Maybe I'm being overly optimistic in believing that no true /pol/ack believed or came to believe that Trump could and would solve America's problems in an essentially democratic fashion, but electing Trump to get Americans out of the frying pan for a couple of years at least was the rationale that most anons seemed to pay lip service too.
The real libertarians have been gone for years, first to /liberty/ in 2015 and then back to 4chan and elsewhere. Not like there's a real difference between politically immature free market fetishists, the racist democrats of the alt right or the dregs caught up in reddit's political awakening.
It is, but at least I don't think I can fight the ZOG by MAGA awooposting in generals for whatever zionist Chabad props up in Europe next.
Honestly dude, just get over voting for Trump. I'm no more interested in debating what went wrong on this board than you are.
