![]() Subsequently, CisWhiteMaelstrom deleted his Reddit account. jcm267 told MSNBC that CisWhiteMaelstrom told him "we'd have hundreds of thousands of readers there and I was very skeptical about that, not because I thought Trump can't win, because I think he's the only GOPer with 'landslide victory' potential, but because Reddit is not a conservative place". In April 2016, jcm267, the founder of the subreddit, attributed the popularity of the subreddit to moderator CisWhiteMaelstrom. Byrd had severed ties with the Ku Klux Klan in 1952. The image was accompanied by a photoshopped picture of an aged Byrd in Klan garb, which was meant to falsely portray Clinton and Byrd as Klan supporters. For a period of time, the subreddit repeatedly posted an image of Hillary Clinton kissing Robert Byrd, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan. Furthermore, users on the site referred to Trump as " God Emperor". The subreddit grew to be known for frequent posting of memes, especially Pepe the Frog, and frequent uses of slang terms such as " centipede" (a reference to a much-distributed Trump highlight reel featuring the Knife Party song " Centipede"), " MAGA", "nimble navigator", "no brakes", " cuck", "4D chess", and " SJW".

There's an article mentioning a similar ceremony during Easter celebrations in 1938 in Iași, after the troops attended the religious service (even today every one has large candles for the occasion, it's a very important part of it) they went back to the barracks with torches.
