purpose and follow a similar script. They usually pop up in the sillier posts - memes/funny pictures of Trump, yelling at Americans that we don’t care enough about [insert right here]. I say all that to say - I understand the trolling aspect, and that was the reason I commented “classic outsider.”

connect w/learn from smart ppl!) I judge credibility on a case by case basis usually. I’m a lawyer- I need facts supported by evidence. I like to think I can see when facts are manipulated for a purpose… or embellished for clickbait purposes. Drives me crazy, for exactly the reason you stated.
