The_Donald Claims Twitter Is Artificially Promoting the 'ImWithHer' Hashtag

• http://motherboard.vice.com, by Nicholas Deleon

"BREAKING: Twitter is manipulating their algorithm to falsely create #ImWithHer as trending," one "centipede," as members of the subreddit refer to themselves, claimed earlier on Friday. "There's only 80 total tweets with the hashtag #ImWithHer in the last 1 hour yet it's showing up on the front page. This does not constitute a trend," the user bellowed.

Without a shred of evidence, The_Donald's users proffered several reasons as to why they believe Twitter, which is based in San Francisco, would want to make #ImWithHer, the hashtagged version of one of Clinton's campaign slogans, appear as a trending topic. These reasons include (hold your breath) that California is "infested with SJWs," a derisive term used to refer to people who believe in social equality and justice ("social justice warriors"), and that Twitter is "cucked."
