I have been trolling the far right

I have been playing a fake RWNJ on social media and after reading that garbage for an hour a day, I feel so slimy. Like I need to shower with bleach. Those people are so evil and they truly believe the bullshit they spew.

I'm not sure I can keep this up.

Let me put it this way. This is the way to go to get Trump himself triggered. Mary Trump is about to give us the closest we're ever going to get to a comprehensive psychological profile of Donald Trump. He's obviously a malignant narcissist - her book starts with that fact.

So there's the whole concept of narcissistic wounding and narcissistic rage. And Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson & co. are making sure Trump sees them on Fox & Friends and on Twitter, and they've got a super-soaker full of salt, lemon juice, and rubbing alcohol for his narcissistic wounds.

I do my own small part and troll the fuck out of Trump himself on Twitter. The courts ruled it's illegal for him to block me. And I do my small part amplifying hashtags to the trending list so Trump himself will see them.

The idea is that we keep Trump on tilt as much as possible. The more he's triggered, the more he makes an ass of himself, and the more own-goals he kicks. And the more room Biden gets to be able to be the adult in the room.

Trolling Trump is patriotic and fun!

I don't think Trump reads the replies to his own tweets - he'd have a complete nervous breakdown.

It is true, I’ve also been engaged with Trumpsters online. And I have thought of Nietzsche’s admonition quite frequently. But then I go on, realizing that countering monsters with their own tactics is the best way to defeat them.

the "Hollywood Liberals", the Clintons, and other prominent Democrats are running a massive pedophile ring (think Alex Jones and Pizzagate)? And now that Ghislaine Maxwell has been arrested it's ALL going to come out?????!!!

Or trumpliespeopledie, or whatever is trending. Then I block them. Twitter discourages blocking says it doesn’t grow followers. I don’t care, I’m there for the news and commentary and could care less about engaging with idiots
