    It isn’t “trolling”.

    It’s deliberate sabotage of the United States government, in breach of the Congressional oath of office.

      Agreed. Does anyone have any idea how this whole situation ends without violence? There’s just too many people fed too many falsehoods for far too long.

        Oh, there will be violence. It’ll just be flailing loser violence, as on January 6, not a civil war.

        If it comes down to it, the US military supports the conservative law & order party, not the frothy radical fascist party.

        “Does anyone have any idea how this whole situation ends without violence?”: The average voter informs themselves about what the Republicans are doing to our country and why the Democrats and especially the Progressives are a better answer to this country’s issues and the vote accordingly. Otherwise it probably ends with Republicans killing off a bunch of minorities through policy and allowing people like James Alex Fields to go free.

      Trolling morphed after 2016 so you would’ve been right prior, but it’s not just “for the lulz” anymore. In 2023 this counts as trolling. It’s deliberate agitation as an end goal.

    Trolling?

    I don’t give a shit about his trolling.

    He tried to overthrow the fucking government.

    That’s what matters.

    Last time I checked, Newt didn’t do that despite being a twat.
