 * Symbol possible vote.svg I am struggling to think of a justification for featuring an article about a rightwing meme propagated by partisan websites with poor reputation for reliability. Especially in the middle of an election. In fact, I am struggling to imagine a justification for this article's existence at all. Sorry. Gatoclass (talk) 13:04, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Gatoclass - for the same reason we have, and disabuse, other extremist conspiracy theories like World Trade Center controlled demolition conspiracy theories, Illuminati, and Climate change denial. This is an important article as it collates the rational response and verifiable facts presented by RS that debunks a weird meme propogated by chat rooms, blogs, and notorious conspiracists like PJW in one place. This speaks to the very of the purpose of WP - to empower people with knowledge. If you think this fails GNG then AfD it but please don't just decide to plop down and sit on it. Thanks.
