Huh? No. Concern trolling is specifically an accusation you aren’t actually concerned. It is saying you were only pretending to be concerned but were actually posting to piss people off or start a fight.
I hope you misspeak when you say you aren’t actually concerned about anything. Because you presented yourself as being concerned about how people were being too pessimistic. If you weren’t actually concerned about that, that would be concern trolling.
I also don’t see how you didn’t double down, when both of your other responses were “I was right.” Is that not the definition of “doubling down”—someone points out why you’re wrong, but you say you’re still right?
I don’t think you are right about that thread. At least, when I checked it out at first, I saw several posters saying that things wouldn’t be great, but that the OP was worried about things that were unlikely to happen.
You seemed to be more frustrated by a general trend you had been seeing, and maybe some posters in that thread. I would suggest making separate thread about those frustrations would have been a better fit, rather than expressing that frustration in a thread that’s about reassuring people who are scared.
Oh, and I don’t think it’s remotely just white people who think Trump crossed several lines which have not been crossed before, and who are wary of what he can do. None of us think democracy was working well before, just that things are worse now that a wannabe dictator destroyed things.
My hope is that this awakens people more aware of the lesser stuff that was going on before, that we’re all more awake. My fear is that people will just ignore it because it’s “not as bad as what Trump did.”
