Out of all the people it’s gamers that will put trump out of office.

Probably gamers put him in office in the first place. Steve Bannon capitalized on Gamergate and started latching on to it to recruit young white male gamers to the far right. Then these GamerGate proponents became manosphere followers.

You say that but I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if gamers as a demographic are more liberal than average.

Maybe the general gaming public but probably not among capital G Gamers™ who are the loud minority on the internet.

Guys, the word „gamers” was used too much in this comment thread. Stop.

I think gamers are more reactionary than average. Gamers gave us Gamergate which eventually gave us Trump.
