Another way to consider trolling from is Dr. Phil’s viewpoint:
People only engage in repeated behavior if it pays off for them. What is the pay-off for trolling? Experts and online discussions cite:
Attention and recognition, even if negative
The emotional release of venting
Power (the power to disrupt)
Vandalism
The thrill of breaking social conventions
Sabotaging groups the troll dislikes
Immaturity

I’ve noticed for the past two months or so many anti-Trump threads are consistently posted by the same few ppl.
After a while, I realize, it’s only about wielding power at FR by baiting ppl into the threads to bicker & fight with them. Nothing is accomplished other than that. The victory goes to the person doing the bating & trolling, so there’s that.

Exactly!
There is a Big Steal going on by the GOP establishment and Cruz.
The propaganda being put out these days is to normalize the situation and try to diminish Trump in any way so that they can go forward with the Big Steal. They are trying to get all this to be acceptable and normal to the American people and it is NOT.
We have to continue to point it out for what it is. Propaganda is a powerful tool as you can see so many Cruz supporters have fallen for it.
