sure, but what are the meme-makers goals? It's easy to make a meme that reinforces group identity, and _hard_ to make one that wins.

I wonder; is there a good example of a meme that made people pro-trump last year? I found the w40k references pretty dumb, myself.

who did pepe convince to become pro-trump? I guess Clinton's denouncement of pepe made her look out of it. Maybe that counts.
