I wonder if they’re dead and their accounts have been hacked or if maybe they were always like that but held back.
I have thought that often. I will see a comment and it just seems so out in left field. I usually look at their home page and they have been here since 1998. I’ll look at their comment records and they had commented regularly for a few years and gradually stopped commenting for several years. All of a sudden, they are making 30 comments a day, every day and the comments are all left leaning. Could be the person retired and has more time now. It could also be a child or grandchild has taken over the account.
If that happens to my account and I start leaning left, you can be sure it is my daughter. On the other hand, if I start going hard core, and I mean really hard core right, you can bet it’s my grandson.
