I guess you haven’t seen _Gypsy_ then. That’s where I learned it.

Sadly, jimmy no-commonsense did reply to the thread with a one liner that a 10 year old would have considered tired and lame. I humbly suggest that since they didn’t self ban as we had hoped, that they just accelerate the “more trouble than it’s worth” ban. I mean, after all, their first post broke multiple rules, and @What_Exit was merciful in just tossing the whole thing into the Pit. Their singular response shows zero effort or intent to be a part of the community, so why bother?

Agreed. I doubt they’ll avoid the banhammer beyond a third post, if one happens.

The majority of responses in that troll’s thread were intentionally and justifiably frivolous. I salute those who made an honest attempt to appeal to reason, but this is a Trumpist so that’s pretty futile. I posted there mainly to amuse myself, and if it amused anyone else that’s a bonus. That’s about all the attention the troll deserves.

They may not even be a genuine Trumpist, but instead just a garden-variety troll.

There was no hope with someone with that little debate skills and no facts to back their own position. But the posters of the Dope are allowed to have fun too.

Some people seem genuinely enthusiastic about the idea of re-electing Trump, though I have _no_ idea why.

He embodies everything they wish they could get away with. The veneer of civility was a lot thinner than we thought it was, apparently.

And, at least for the last couple of decades, there was enough social pressure to keep most of them from saying the quiet part out loud. Trump’s empowered them to no longer feel the need to conceal their true asshole natures.

On this board, genuinely-held beliefs and trolling are not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, one thing I’ve seen said here many times is that if your actions give you the appearance of trolling you’re going to be treated as a troll, even if you post something in sincerity.

It’s like… Let’s say there’s a rule about making rude sounds like fake fart noises in a place, and you let out a large, real loud fart in amidst some people. If you were holding that fart in so that you could let it out where it would be most disruptive, you don’t get to make the excuse that it was a real fart and you couldn’t help it.

I realize that’s a pretty disgusting analogy but we’re talking about a pretty disgusting behavior.

Exactly! When farting is criminalized, then only criminals will fart.

Jegpeg is arguing that Biden is as bad as Trump: Trump was convicted of a felony (well, 34 of them) and Biden’s 50-something year old son was also convicted of a felony (I think 4 of them). Both equivalent! And any parent that had a child convicted of a felony is directly responsible for their moral downfalls. Ole jegpeg learned from his parents right from wrong. What a fucking moron, and asshole!
