Another candidate, especially given the questions in the link below. From a Coronavirus thread: > [@Coronavirus will finish Trump's presidency](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/coronavirus-will-finish-trumps-presidency/849597/71): > > As for Trump… We will vote for him because things seem to be going well in this country… People like you do give extra motivation to vote for him though. Neurotic, self-loathing white leftists have made a fool of themselves now that reality does not reflect the hyperbolic hysterics that followed the 2016 election and all the talks of nazis and fascism and genocide. > > Anti-white racism and the usurpation of white creations is the only kind of racism that seems to be getting out of hand in the USA. > [@Coronavirus will finish Trump's presidency](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/coronavirus-will-finish-trumps-presidency/849597/72): > > The irrational Trump-bashing is not funny anymore. Let it go for the sake of your own mental health. But that’s the tip of a very confused iceberg. Take a look at [what runs through his head](https://www.quora.com/profile/Hengsen-Kerpangsen/questions), apparently non-stop. Disturbing, but perversely fascinating. (Thanks to **Lance Turbo** for posting that link) Another example of why we need a term for “I’ll just flounder, throwing out questions and accusations, hoping to get SOME kind of validation, even if it’s negative.” Maybe we have Trolls, Attention Trolls, and Confused Trolls. ---

My, but that particular thread gets an abundance of shitting. [this post by **Sportegan**](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=22198520#post22198520) is typical blort, but for some reason it had to add a link at the bottom in white text so you fail to notice it. ---

One of the factors that goes into Google search ranking is external links to your site. If you make them invisible, there’s less chance of them being noticed and deleted. ---
