These are the kinds of things donors should be funding. We need to put more time, money, and effort into trolling, because it works. Trump has a massive ego and almost always responds to being picked on, which isn't done nearly enough. The "high road" shit is why Dems keep losing.

Seriously. If I had an event, and a bunch of Nazi idiots wanted to dress like chickens and hand out free tacos, they're not the winners in that scenario. I get free tacos, and they're the idiots in the chicken suits.

The difference is that you're a rational human being. These people are not, so trolling drives then into a frenzy.

Most normal people would not have even acknowledged the "they're so weird" comment from last year's campaign.

Exactly my point. Trump reacts to trolling, we've seen it a million times. It doesn't matter what a rational person would do and we need to stop pretending he's a normal professional person because he's not and neither are his followers. They respond to dumb shit because its what they understand. All this "rise above" shit does is help them. The whole fucking reason they love Trump so much is because he does a good job at bullying the people they don't like.

Indeed.

The golden rule doesn't work with narcissists. You have to flip it around and treat them how they treat others.

and the point of trolling is it’s the best way to divert their attention so they can’t do horrible things… it can be just as effective as fighting them… hell, given how your courts are handling things over there it’s probably more effective than the law at this point
