GamerGate is the biggest mistake the left ever made. Before GamerGate happened, most young people thought the right-wing was exclusively the side in favor of censorship and moral authoritarianism (although a decent amount still do). People thought feminists were a small minority that wouldn't ever make an impact so people mainly shat on the Christian right.

After GamerGate though, a lot of young people realized the left may be just as bad as the boogeyman Christian conservatives they had thought were the ones with a hate boner for all the things they loved. So from 2014-2016 or so, the GamerGate crowd decided the left was pretty much just as bad. After Trump's election though and the unbelievable shitshow with the media, they finally realized that not only is the left worse about censorship and moral authoritarianism, but that right-wing censorship and moral authoritarianism can't even shake a stick at how extreme those tendencies are on the left.

And now, from 2016-2020, Donald Trump, extreme woke ideology/feminism, and GamerGate accomplished what the Bush era Republicans utterly failed at and that's that they made being right-wing the cool and rebellious thing to do.

We are the underdogs now fighting censorship, authoritarianism, and the establishment. If American history is anything to go off of, we are going to win this fight.
