RepubliTrolls.

_…a person who trolls by mumbling like a cranky old man, inserting random words that sound like attacks on liberal politicians._  
From the Urban dictionary.

A Republitroll would post something like: srpgih Obama sgeiphouihdt Obamacare gdtpierpimf damn stupid government srgpipinpiih worthless FEMA trailer they gave me grgrpiodgpihiht Trump is god.  
\*\*Clothahump \*\*, a semi-literate Republictroll needs a swift strike on the head for unparalleled stupidity and unbridled trolling.

**OMG a Black Retard** could use one too, but not as hard. Good luck hitting that pointed head with that hammer.

I’m fairly new here, and wasn’t around when he first appeared, but might **HurricaneDitka** qualify?

Or my coworker Frank, whose latest gem was “I wonder if the Obamas got invited to the luncheon, or did they just get a gift certificate to KFC?”

Yes. **HurricaneDitka** , is clearly a halfwitted republitroll.

I’m calling for a complete and total ban on wingnut trolls joining the board and a registry for those already here, until we can figure out what’s going on. It’s the only way we’re going to win the war on Idiotic Trollerism.

Yeah, that’s right, I said it. The first step in fighting it is to call it what it is.

**D’Anconia**

It appears that **orcenio’s** snowflake thread was a parody. S/he doesn’t belong.  
Apologies.

The Republitrolls have out Hitlered Trump. I did not think that was possible.

But then, who will be around to trumpsplain for us when we’re trying to discern how Trump’s barely coherent bloviating translates into something resembling actual policy?
