The former president’s authoritarian tendencies are alarming enough without inventing new outrages.

    If the script I wrote to expose this troll/sealion doesn’t change any minds, literally nothing will.

      Actually, your script goes a long way to convincing me the account is not a bot or shared account but a regular person.

      ~111 mins / day

      So the guy gets a full 8 hours of sleep, does a full 8 hours of work at a job and has a reasonable commute, spends less than 2 hours on the fediverse, and still has quite a few hours of personal time for other things like catching the latest movie?

      (Alternatively, guy works at home, checks in on the fediverse frequently on his work computer while also doing his regular job, and maybe stays logged on for 10 hours a day instead of the required 8 to make up for the difference.)

      It’s certainly possible that this is a guy who is a GOP and MAGA supporter, and is being less than fully honest about his motives in promoting third parties.

      But it’s also possible that what’s written on the tin is in fact accurate - he’s a person who dislikes the duopoly in the US and wants to vote 3rd party no matter what, and wanting to share his thoughts on the election in an unfiltered way.

      Which one is the truth? I’ll let you, the voter, decide.

      But, that aside, I think this comment from our mod explains it best,

      The consensus is, yes, they have shitty opinions, but having shitty opinions is not against the TOS.
      The comments and downvotes do their job exposing just how shitty their opinions are.

        You’re bending far over backwards to be contrary. Just so you know, it’s not of concern to me.
