Just more propaganda to normalize this situation for “The Big Steal” that is going on.

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.
