Really weak stuff. Everything seemed like a point the child of a MAGA parent would make after parroting their parents comments while watching Fox or something. ---

Did you ever notice that when a maga tells you what’s wrong with Democrats, it’s like an incel telling you what’s wrong with women? They reveal a lot more about themselves than their supposed subject. ---

When I see low information trolling like our departed OP, and a refusal to argue on anything even mentioning actual facts, I always get the same sort of feel I’d get from a devout (Christian, etc) but deeply closeted individual. They still refuse to see anything wrong with their team, likely believe devoutly, but somewhere, deep down, there’s a niggling doubt. They may never act on said doubt, and even more fervently dismiss everything that might possibly make them self reflect, but it’s still there. So the ever more strident appeals, the casting of stones, the clutching at aphorisms, and mindless dismissal of the “heathens” because, occasionally, deep in the night, they dare to wonder if _they’ve_ made a mistake. [aside, I’m not saying LBGQT+ is a mistake, I’m saying that their mind-view or assumptions are a mistake, just to be clear] Sadly, the number that ever listen to that voice are miniscule, and of those that do, most of them immediately assume that even IF there’s something wrong with them/their side, it’s ONLY because the other side is so strong/evil, and the cycle continues. So, if our former poster is watching this in troll-ish glee and rubbing their hands together on a job well done, you can listen to that voice, or just consider that at least some of us are thinking: # The lady doth protest too much, methinks ---

It’s cute when someone challenges you to prove them wrong but insists that the only cites they’ll accept are ones that agree with them. It’s like watching a little kid try very poorly to act like a grown-up. It would be more infuriating if it wasn’t so clumsy. It’s almost endearing. ---

It’s like the old joke. “Why do you go around incessantly snapping your fingers?” “It keeps the elephants away.” “What elephants? There isn’t an elephant within five hundred miles of here.” “See? It works!” ---
