Organized sock puppetry?

I've started to ignore whatever Trump talking point of the day (Open everything up! Open the schools! Etc) and not even bother to post. Many use incorrect terminology for american businesses and call them a name that sounds like the posters are English as second language posters. Why are they doing this here? Anyone actually in power doesn't have time to read these boards.

It's just a nuisance, and I've decided not to engage anymore.

And it looks as if the organized trolls have an organized effort to come here to try to intimidate and discredit people who complain about them.

If they were just regular conservative people, why would they even notice that people were posting complaints about them here?

You know posts in Website Feedback show up in Recent Topics, right? Everyone can easily see this thread, they don’t have to go searching for it.

Oh my gosh. Seriously, I don't know why you all think this. I wrote that. I am a normal, average person--nobody is telling me to come to write things on DCUM. I am not a conservative, nor am I a liberal. I am a true, middle of the road moderate, who is very worried about the direction this country is headed. I believe we are now in the era that will see the downfall of our country and I feel horrible for my children.

One small step we could all take is to think for ourselves, parse and analyze what we read, and hold on to the freedom that is what has made our country great. If you want, throw questions my way...would this help substantiate that I'm not a Russian troll?

I am yesterday’s 15:22 poster and I am the farthest thing from a conservative-Hogan is the only republican I ever voted for. I just happen to have a spouse on the front line in MD so have a different, less alarmist, viewpoint that people who rely on the media for their news. Now that we have flattened the curve, I’d like to see a phased reopening, that certainly is what the local hospitals are working towards.

The day the thread in question was posted, MD announced a whooping 60 percent of its Covid-19 deaths came from nursing homes. Of course people were going to be discussing those statistics and the best way to address this particularly high risk group . Clearly Hogan felt the same, as he ordered universal testing at all nursing homes yesterday afternoon.

Not sure why I am wasting time responding to one or more hysterical posters who politicized any opposition to their point of view, but their complaints couldn’t be more off base with respect to me, and I suspect, the others whom they are complaining about.

Trump trolls are not convincing anyone. They learned their mind games form the former society union.

Apparently, when people disagree with them, it’s a “conspiracy”. So typical.

It’s actually proving how insane OP and others are. Very much so, in fact.

You’ve been inside too long, stewing about all things Trump. Maybe take a walk in the rain to clear your head and gain some perspective? MANY PEOPLE DISAGREE WITH YOUR OFF-KILTER CONSPIRACY THEORIES.

Honestly, you sound like a conservative to me. When you go on about freedoms and making America great again, it’s very much within the conservative line.
I’m not saying you can’t post, or your opinions don’t matter, but you are definitely a conservative.

The shelter in place has made some people go a little bit crazy online. When I posted that people needed to have civil conversations, the response was that they hope my child dies.

No, that's not what she's saying. She's saying BE HONEST. Don't pretend to be something or something you're not so you can try to sway people to your side of the argument. We are sick of this kind of dishonesty and just plain bullshit.

I see the same talking points being posted her as new threads in several forums, the same talking points I see Trumper friends posting on Facebook.

If only posts had "report" buttons that could be used. That would change everything. But, apparently no such thing exists so posters are left to piss into the wind in this thread.

You're ridiculous. And that's assuming YOU'RE being honest. You just want to pretend those who disagree with you are lying or mispresenting who they are and what their political views are. No one is trying to "sway" anyone. If you disagree with posters, fine. But calling them "trolls" or "Russians" just makes you look like the a$$hole you apparently are.
