This is the real issue with troll communities (and subreddits). The_Donald started out as a troll community, and it was effectively overrun with nutjobs.

Yes, satirizing these people is hilarious, but they're often too stupid to differentiate between ironic support and endorsement and actual agreement. These are the same people who routinely fall for The Onion articles.

Don't be surprised at the level of stupidity people are willing to duck under to confirm their own beliefs. Lol

When someone makes a crude joke on the internet

Yeah but Nazism spread via propaganda, which is what dogwhistling is a form of.

The Internet is the largest spreader of propaganda that humanity has ever seen, so it's not surprising that it helped revitalize neo-nazism and fascism is general. It also served to make satire and actual radicalized behavior harder to detect. A lot of the time, 4chan boards use this "edgy satire" format to normalize the behavior (to an extent). See: the "MAP" misinformation campaign they did and how it reinforced actual pedophilia and demonized LGBT groups

The crime thing is just a talking point that people throw around, and is demonstrably untrue. There's no conclusive evidence to suggest that either red or blue states have higher crime rates: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/12/newsoms-claim-that-trump-states-have-highest-murder-rates/

As far as taxes go, at least we have decent infrastructure and social services compared to a lot of red states. Rent sucks but hey that's what happens if you want to live in a highly desirable city
