Well, it’s the meme. Say something stupid, get called out or laughed at, claim you were only trolling. But people know who he is. We know he’s an asshole and a troll. He’s not a good and decent person. He can blow that off all he wants, but that’s the reputation he creates for himself. ---

He’s like a Clothahump who tries harder. Way too hard, actually. Won’t shut up. And I think he may be just young enough to really believe that the identity between gun rights, “conservatism,” small government, tax cuts, and the GOP is a normal historical thing rather than the product of relatively recent propaganda. ---

HD’s all concerned about Syria: [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=848214](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=848214) Of course, he doesn’t direct one iota of criticism at Trump, even though his supposedly biggest concern about Hillary was her talk about a no-fly zone in Syria escalating things with Russia. But of course he has no concern that frickin’ bombing Russian allies in Syria might escalate things… Because he’s a lying piece of shit. ---

Seems like you can be as racist as you want if you do so without personal insults and you can call someone out for it, but stay within the lines, at least in GD. He’s getting more pathetic as time goes on. When you’re a bigot, you vote for someone if only because they hate the same people as you do. Since he’s in your tribe, he can do no wrong. ---

I think the prime characteristic HD is demonstrating is that his highest value is angering/hurting liberals. More than any political issue, or any moral principle. By my perception, he shows by far the most glee and happiness when something is angering liberals, whether it’s hurting children, a bigoted policy, or something else. ---

Twisting people’s words in order to accuse them of nastiness is not something I approve of. It sounds like it’s your thing, though.
