Has this forum ever been more of an echo chamber?

It's interesting that this probably one of the most pro-Clinton forums out there. It wasn't really that different during the primaries.

Well, there was also a whole lot of ironic Trump support at that point, which I'll admit, was well-executed by Lief and others.

A couple things:
1. Trump isn't a very good candidate.  This is obvious.
2. Trump's strongest demographics - seniors, those without a college degree (and are not pursuing one), Evangelicals, veterans - are significantly underrepresented here.  Add this to a very strong social liberal ethos (shared among many on both the left and right here), and it's no surprise why Trump is seen as anathema around here.

I would hazard the demographics of this place are not dissimilar to, say, 4chan's /pol/ so I don't think demographics can account for everything,

Perhaps in terms of gender and age, but this place is much higher educated than 4chan. Also much more LGBT, which influences people's politics, especially in an American context where LGBT issues are still highly contentious.

Is 4chan really that different in educational demographics than Atlas?  Most of the posters there seem to be college students or graduates (many are high schoolers, but plan to go to college).  Doesn't seem that different from Atlas than me, but definitely younger and less LGBT.  The bigger difference is that 4chan has a built-in preference for edginess, taken to an extreme.
