WAY. Grrrrr!

They have to resolve these violent emotions in some fashion, and the way that they think is "cool" is lashing out on the internet. They relieve themselves of some of that awful frustration, and they get high fives from their similarly-deluded buddies.

That's pretty much the POV of the people we know, who have been here for years.

The people we don't know, the n00bs, who are here name-calling and getting all vicious and ugly, well, they're just trolls. Trump supporting assholes, or Cruz-cheering putzes, who think that they're "driving a wedge" between Democrats with their nastiness.

Gotta feel sorry for them, the disappointed Bernie supporters, and the Trumpy trolls. They're on the losing team, on the wrong side of history.
