In the early to mid-2010s, many of us on Jow Forums were aware that the CIA, FBI, NSA were cataloguing countless amounts of personal info based on the things we posted, which was obviously something that could be abused in horrifying ways. Imagine, for instance, an Orwellian torture chamber ala Room 101, except that they use all the info they had on you to psychologically optimize the best form of torture.
Now, I'm not sure about you, but if you're anything like me you probably pictured that the individuals in those departments were generic looking tall muscular white men with an apolitical bent and a naked lust for power along with the privilege to abuse it without any form of accountability. Hypercompetent demons in human skin with technology far more advanced than anything us peons will ever use, who were simply "above it all."
Then comes Trump, a 70 year old corny baby boomer with dyed hair who talks like a narcissistic simpleton with no self-awareness, who in the process of running for the highest office in the world broke all the rules, only to win anyway, forever changing the political and cultural landscape.
Then you find out that many of the deep stage agents you were so wary of, turned out to be utter dweebs like Peter Strzok, whose cringe inducing attempts at flirting with ugly lawyers get unearthed for the world to see.
Or SJW, XOJane writer looking cunts with textbook virgin walk posture like Sally Moyer, who you can just imagine gulfs down multiple pints of coffee a day on top of SSRIs and weekly therapy sessions in order to avoid having a personal break down.
Thank you for shattering that image, President Trump. We now know the people that make up the powers-that-be aren't nearly as threatening, imposing, or competent as we thought they might be, and that's a tremendous first step towards actual change.
