I can just as easily claim gamergate was a nudge against Trump, by spawning a large number of more politically motivated left-liberals and leftists as it increased the political radicalization of people in general. There were a lot fewer people who identified as socialists or communists or left-liberals before it. Righties would've voted Trump anyway, GG or not. Lefties who wouldn't normally vote, started to participate because of the "Trump bad" fear.

That sounds like more nudges, yes. Not all have to be in one direction, and they can do different things all at the same time.

See? Another vague reasonable claim that can also be true.

Are you going anywhere else with this? Being really mad at me is fine but if this is going to be a last word game about that, I already want out.
