Once Again Trolls Are Attacking Democrats...

Last edited Sat May 26, 2018, 08:04 PM - Edit history (1)

...like 2016, we are starting to see a lot of so called progressive social media posts attacking Democrats. These posts then are kicked and shared with numerous one line posts agreeing that Democrats need to find some magical message or slogan that will some how be heard over Trump’s daily scandals.

The fact of the matter is that it is okay to be anti-Trump and anti-corruption. There is nothing wrong with this. What we need to do is deal with psy ops that continue to try to convince us that Democrats are the problem.

Who would want to live like that?

Clearly not anyone interested in the country's well-being.

Hope that all their visits will be short and unpleasant for them.

Others have found ways to fly enough below the radar to bore themselves into the message board, like grubs in the lawn, or insects in the trees, and have lived to attack Democrats for years without getting nailed.

Never respond to a post, always post some diversionary stuff, and unfortunately some people here fall for it.

...take a look on social media on all of the wannabe progressives attacking Dems and giving Trump a free pass.

Do not fall for Don the Con!

If we could just string together a killer incantation, we could weave a magic spell that no one could resist and would win every election by such a wide margin that it would negate all Russian interference.



Trolls. What do you expect?

We have to fight these trolls as our lives depend on them being destroyed. We cannot let what happened last election to happen this election.

I believe all progressives should do their part to report trolls, FB accounts, fake news Youtube videos and anything else that looks like Russia. If we all did a little it would amount to a large effort
