I don’t think he’s a troll. He’s just a stereotypical Trump follower. Give him another 6 months of denial and he’ll come around.

I was talking about Morgenstern. He was outed via a post on another board that he posts here just to troll.

Deliberately trying to goad people into posting stuff that can get them warned is trolling.

Indeed. That asshole makes me grind my teeth. Er, if I let him. Actually, his repeated assertions that legally releasing a guy from jail somehow constitutes “hiding him among the general population” are hilarious, and remind me of the sort of logic used by Sovereign Citizens. I’d love to see him argue this before an actual judge.

I think you are being optimistic about Trump _supporters_\* ever coming around.

\*As opposed to those who held their nose and voted for him.

I just had local am radio on as I was skating out for a coffee and danish … some crimsonnecked yokel just wanted everyone to know that he was still fully behind Trump just as he’s behind LePage, they just maybe should not open their mouths so much. Genius. The next caller was some snooty lady just calling in to inform everybody that the reason health costs are less for poor people is to “punish people who actually want jobs and reward people who don’t want to work.”

So, from Downeast, the ol’ Trump Supporters Coming Around gambit is sucker’s bet.

The latest link that somebody put up spells out very clearly what’s wrong with his OP. So, the good news is that Okra’s issues have been narrowed down to three possibilities:

1 - He cannot read. Tragic but correctable.  
2 - He does not understand what he reads. Sad but correctable.  
3 - He chooses not to understand what he reads (or read something opposing his views in the first place). Just sad and likely permanent.

Okra is deliberately obtuse. He’s the sort of guy Scaradouchie was talking about when he made that, “Enjoys sucking his own dick”, comment.

**Bone** seems to be keeping him on a short leash. Maybe he’ll finally go too far.

He would instantly proffer that the judge is corrupt and part of the liberal-created “deeper darkness” cartel.

And then the judge would smack the living shit out of him. Figuratively. 🙂

There is a LOT of overlap, and I like both boards. That snark thread is actually pretty similar to this thread, except it has been going on a LOT longer, and there are some dope-banned users joining in as well.

What a GOOD point!

And what a WEIRD defense to an accusation of trolling…
