Another favorite tactic is called sea lioning It consists of bad faith requests for evidence or repeated questions. The purpose is not clarification but to derail the discussion or wear your patience. Trolls who use this also use fake civility and feign offense to discredit you


This is something gun trolls use here all the time. It's obvious, and I always knew it was part of the NRA troll training script, but I never knew it had a name.

There probably is more than one plan. The right has spent decades to get into the position of control they currently enjoy. Plans for local, state and federal level. The documentary “Hot Coffee” and the segment on Justice Diaz and the Mississippi Surpreme Court seat shows just how far reaching and down in the weeds their plans are. Highly recommend the movie if you have not seen it.

What is surprising is the willingness of the left to go along with it i.e. the Senator Franken event as an example.

The Hill, Politico, WAPO, other old school newspapers.....The ridicule and hyperbole is all they have. Factual info, followed up with ridicule and humor, shuts them up most of the time. If they do continue, it is usually with a non-sequitur or belligerent insult.

Trying to read the list made me think that this could not possibly be compiled by a "far right" person. It is too logical, nuanced, and not easy to mentally process for any right winger to understand, let alone use.
