A friend of mine's significant other has a huge number of LGBT friends and has had to take advantage of our social welfare programs (not something I mind at all), yet loves the fuck out of Trump and denounces social welfare programs. I have an aunt who is gay all the way, dirt broke and disabled. She loves Donald Trump. These people aren't kidding. They actually think his hate speech is just tough guy rhetoric and that he is some figurative messiah come to save America. Mind you, none of them can present a good argument for it, either.
My point is, while I'll never take trolling off the table, I don't think Bella's beliefs are enough to say he or she is trolling, but then again, I have no idea what's going on around here lately.
^This.
Trump's core is 35 to 40 percent of the electorate. My sister is one of them. I only wish she were trolling. But no, she is totally sucked into the whole right-wing hate world and one of Trump's dedicated core. I assume Bella is one too. Self hatred seems to be one element in my sister's case. Don't know about Bella. Could be.
As to snuffing out trolls, can anyone tell me what the official policy of the mod team is toward trolls? I think Bella has non-troll moments too so I have no idea what you're supposed to do about trollish behavior when it happens.
