Engaging With Trump’s Die-Hard Supporters Isn’t Productive

[Bugenhagen]

"The loyalists who still cling to conspiracy theories should be deprived of the attention they seek."

An interesting point is that trumpism having no ideology is not a thing that can survive. Its just what you see when rocks are unturned in America.

It may not be obvious, why would it but I've been working to get as many of the fart-sniffers to put me on ignore as possible. I think I have eight now. This has been entirely intentional.

I can of course see their posts as a little scripting reveals all but most of the time I try to only engage with ones who other, less foaming cons, find disturbing and make them consider their ways. Of course there are times when they are so pitiful I have to have a break and ignore them myself.

Please quit your crying. It's making you look weak padre.

Don't worry, Baron will check the mentions of him once the holidays are over. Then perhaps you will have some peace if he removes you and I.

I'm probably not your "padre" .

For so called election winners, these ET trolls are such whiny, crying babies! You need to grow up idiots as you are only embarassing yourselves.

No kidding! They are crying all over the place. We need to get them some special hankies.

Maybe you can recycle the ones from under your bed.

You want old hankies instead of new ones made especially for you? Kind of weird.

Looks like they need a diaper change and a pacifier to quiet them down.

I doubt Baron will help you guys put your girdles on.

I enjoy your posts as I’m sure others do as well. You are the only poster in politics that I will actively look for.

Always remember that positive energy is helpful, even if results are not immediately apparent.

I believe balancing one’s time spent in an online world with their time spent in the real world is best, especially when there are other people in your life.

For God’s sake, those who start new threads on politics during Christmas Day or other major family oriented holidays is someone who is unbalanced and spending too much time on social media.

Probably an average of thirty minutes per day is in the realm of healthy online participation. Beyond that, best to be paid or reassess one’s purpose for living. Personally, I’m going to be spending less time on ET, but the time I do spend here will be of higher quality. I hope you do the same.
