We all know how shit /pol/ is with half of them just posting pictures of trump tweets and the quality of posts going significantly down.
Was this due to the election or was it something else that destroyed /pol/?

The cia try to connect trump to alt-right and alt-right to racism to discredit him through the use of fake news and false flags.

Lol true. Plus, the CIA set traps of shitty middle-school tier arguments to troll people right into a watch list. Happened to me.

Then there is the "how can white Bois even compete" black dick shit which is part psyop part race bait to get on a watch list.

This. They took the shitposting fron /pol/ and made it go into the public domain. I kind of regret not opening up an online kekshop to sell merchandise to these suckers.

They recruited redditors in order to give their political movement momentum and have payed the price.

/pol/harbor and the election/reddit were the main cause of /pol/s decline. There are still some good threads occasionally but overall it's a shell of it's former self.

I thought that current /pol/ was the result of a (successful) stormfront invasion.

Although I have another (possibly dumb) theory that the current /pol/ is result of the geekdom going mainstream and pushing losers/nerds/geeks out their own niche and that /pol/ is modern-day /b/ and the only place that normies don't enter.

Gamergate and the Elections effectively destroyed /pol/. /pol/ capitalized on Gamergate and the Elections to make memes and have banter, where the memes leaked to reddit and other normalfag social media and became viral, attracting redditors and normalfags with an only vague interest in Right-wing to /pol/, and use politics as an accessory to their image.

Half of the oldfags on /pol/ went to Otherchan and the other half of oldfags now just go to /int/.

You can't be far-right on /pol/ anymore without a redditor calling you an evil nazi and then pulling the "Haha I'm centre-right look at me I'm a centrist! I have no opinions! Praise kek" card.

The latter is the largely accepted cause of the current situation. /pol/ is by far the most interesting entry point to new 4chan users.
The former is what /new/ used to be.

Not to mention there's a large chunk of /pol/ who actually argue FOR becoming more popular and bringing in more normalfags. Newfriends don't realize that part of made /pol/ fun in the past is that it wasn't extremely inclusive, retards were shitposted out, and most people who weren't far-right libertarians or far-right authoritarians rarely posted because they were too alien. Now you fucking have trannies on /pol/ now attentionwhoring "hehe i'm a girl with a dick wearing a MAGA hat, I'm on your side" or the occasional BASED BLACK MAN attentionwhore.

Best thing about /pol/ right now are all the ironic leaf and australian shitposters.

Truly. The reason why /pol/ continues to be an interesting entry point is because /pol/'s a fucking meme factory. /pol/'s the only board consistently making viral memes and videos all the time now.
/pol/ got some Hitler speech on youtube to go viral to the point youtube started deleting views and likes.

/b/'s stagnated into porn dumps, and the only interesting thing /b/'s done in the last few years is be /pol/'s army. Normalfags aren't interested in /b/ anymore.

Worse. 4chan is getting more lively and no longer has any body watching over it to give some sort of filter to the insanity. Hiro just does not care.

The 2016 election.

It's impossible to have any meaningful political discussion there, which is what the whole purpose of the board is.

Now /pol/ is spilling out into real life, which is not only hilarious but troubling.
