Comment in question. I probably wouldn't have banned you personally. But let's not pretend like you were just expressing a different opinion. You were trolling, and trying to get a response from people. I have personally had the unfortunate experience of sitting at a bar coincidently next to these ding dongs, and seen them roll into town waving their flags and rolling coal as they went to Trumps campaign rally in the town I live in.
This is my opinion. I'm sorry if you don't like it. Out of the hundred simple comments that were insulting Republicans, my comment was the only one that didn't agree.
It's a pretty dumb take to say MAGA people don't exist. I've literally sat next someone at a bar telling everyone around him Trump should be king. And I've had the unfortunate experience of seeing his MAGA fan base come into town rolling coal while waving their idiotic flags out the windows and hanging from their trucks on their way to one of his campaign stops. It's not an opinion, it just makes you look dumb.
Let me reframe my comment. Tell me if you still think it's trolling. Assume I'm responding to:
"Those woke people are getting what they deserve at the gas pump. They voted for Sleepy Joe Biden, they get what they deserve."
...if you no longer think I'm trolling, then you just don't agree with my original opinion.
I haven't met many people that conform to the MAGA stereotype. It seems to mostly be used as a slur to dehumanize Republicans. I'm a centrist; I'd have made a similar argument if the majority was dehumanizing Democrats.
Nope, still looks trolling to me. Pretty obvious sealioning actually, whether you mean to your not.
