Short of mass deportations from FR (I’m fine with this idea) the only answer is for the sane to refuse to be drawn into the nonsense. Don’t open the obvious b.s. and churned threads, don’t reply, and take a breath and realize the obvious—you are being subjected to programmed noise by agitators. Some people don’t want you thinking, they want you reacting and fanning the flame they started. They want to lead you into a circular firing squad. You’re being played.
Some old timers used to actual civility have a hard time understanding this, but believe me, the young get it, and that is what’s happening. In some ways, it is exactly like the mindless noise generated by “spontaneous protests” at various rallies. It’s disruption.
Ask: Who profits when Trump and Cruz supporters attempt to destroy one another?
Here’s the problem with ignoring: when people like altura, 2ndDivisionVet and the 10 or so others who are most obnoxious are here on every thread about Trump butting in to say something false or stupid, and then post on that threat 10 times, maybe with a cohort or one of their other accounts riffing with them, it destroys the discussion of what the article was about, and then it drives people away. We can’t have that. We need to at least call them out on it and defend the people who are under attack, and make it clear that however many times a jackass posts the same crap, the people here are united to destroy the establishment with the one guy remaining who can win at the convention.
You've been here like ten days. Shut the hell up.
