I'm not sure what point you think you are making by removing all context and pretending everything is still the same. But I do know you are constantly on here trolling, so I applaud whoever set you off. This is hilarious.
But I'm not trolling. What makes you think I am a troll?
No one set me off at all. Lemmy discussions have ZERO effect on my day-to-day life. I can note replies I get when I am replying. But in my "real" life, none of this discussion has any effect on my mood or my life. I'm not surprised by my downvotes, nor am I surprised by how nasty people can get.
I find it interesting that people get sooooo butthurt simply because I am not voting for their candidate, but that says more about their life than it does mine.
I love my job, love my family, love my gf, and I love my life. I can retire and live happily ever after and just post on Lemmy all day if I want, but I like my job so much, I keep chugging on.
I'm old enough to have voted before most of you all were even born. Why would anything any Lemmy people say to me, "set" me "off"!?
And for people to call me a troll just because I post political news articles to a Lemmy political news site, and it happens to be about parties they may not like, is hilarious to me. Like seriously? Just don't read them or block me and move on.
I'm not a troll for posting stuff I am interested in. And I don't only post political news articles.
Are the people that post the multitudes of pro-democrat party articles, "trolls"? Or is that term just reserved for people who don't think exactly like you do?
