Whatever it is, it is clearly working from the standard troll script. But a lot of real people are these days so I’d give it a 5% chance of being a weird specimen of trumpkin.
It’s possible he is a genuine American Trump supporter but doing a C&P job from texts he’s read that are actually by Russian trolls, something he’s too clueless to realize. It would explain the inability to defend positions presented and the tendency to just repeat the same nonsense after it had been thoroughly debunked.
That’s the impression I get. But he does seem to put some effort into it, so if he’s a troll he’s not a lazy troll.
I’ve resisted opening any of EricaR’s threads, but maybe I’ll take a peak at just one. Sometimes the SD community fulfills my hopes and turns such threads into performance art. But most times there a ready line of eager oversharers.
I hate making a judgment call about whether a poster is a troll but once in a blue moon a poster will make a statement that is blatantly false and posted in a way to cause drama. But Textual Assault posts this gem in the MLB July thread:
For those who don’t follow baseball, Machado is no lock to be a HOFer and as much as I hate the Yankees no one in their right mind can say their infield sucks.
A) Playing a role
B) Almost certainly a white racist
He’s acting like exactly the kind of black separatist, anti-white racist extremist that would push people away from liberalism, and doing such a bad job of it I can’t help but read it as intentional.
Either this person actually believes the words typed by hispossessed fingers or they are very insecure and ignorant. Every post is about how terrible all whites are and misguided cites to attempt to support the claims. Not to mention calling whites in general ‘thots’ and ‘hoes’ and being completely dismissive to anyone who doesn’t understand the garbled nonsense spewed through the keyboard on his behalf.
Most definitely a troll or someone with a point to prove and failing miserably.
EricaRoche asks how to get a good buzz…in General Questions.Apparently caffeine makes him sick, and he isn’t sure he can get away with abusing pseudoephedrine in this country.
How about starting lots of pointless threads and rarely returning to them. Granted, not the worst attention seeking behavior on this board, but almost meta trolling.
