Trolling-The point is to draw a reaction-take Note-NO THREATS OF VIOLENCE

We will be pushed-shoved & drawn into obfuscation repeatedly.

This is the game.

And if anybody-even a lone blogger-calls for violence or reacts with anything other than disgust-well your helping them.

The jacket thing sewed it for me-they want us to go ape in our critique-just show them disgust. I can't manage pity for now.

But not a smart one. The Trumps are just digging themselves deeper and making themselves look worse. Putting a billboard on your back that says "I don't care" really speaks for itself.

There was a comment about Baron being put in confinement with a molester-thats not helping. It was a celebrity so instant top of the fox.

This is just a explanation of the strategy-and a warning. But nobody here would be that dumb I hope.

And come to think of it, I made one of my own. Think I'll go delete it.

Always was and will always will be
Feigning care when she really doesn't give a shit about those kids. Doesn't get any worse than that. She's a low life.

Trump took us a step toward genocide this week and his fucking stupid base is actually encouraging it! I'm done sitting on the sidelines. Time to fight back!
