Apparently this board can just flip into 4chan mode, ascribing the most deranged beliefs to "normies" when all evidence is against them out of nothing but sheer hate for the bulk of the population.

No, this isn't "normie" behavior. "Normies" overall view this sort of thing as freakish.

I am pretty confident in my off the cuff suggestion that children raised in majority reactionary america spout reactionary beliefs. the stuff that ppl like pete and the official admin twitter accounts have been posting and reposting are lowest common denominator internet memes and dude-joke bullshit.

You do see it among teenage boys, but teenage boys -- mostly actual children, as you acknowledge -- are not representative of ""normie"" belief. This is only a single step above saying that belief in Santa Claus is a ""normie"" belief because so many children believe it. ""Normies"" view the "repeal the 19th" people as freakish and only a small number of actual adults support it, and they're on the fringe right. There's a reason that expressing the view makes news.
