Explain me something

The sheer volume of posts this week about the blathering of that last guy makes me wonder what is going on.

Is the DU infiltrated too or just a lot of folks glad to see him smacked?

Seems weird.

1. DU has permanent infiltrators. Divisive posts are common here.

I believe we are not too call anyone out tho.

3. correct, but you can certainly alert.

We're here to support democrats and promoting right-wing sources is a no-no, but hashing out arguments about right-wing attacks is appropriate.

2. PTSD. Post trumpatic stress disorder

It would be good to completely ignore him, but as long as the country does not, we do need to pay attention.

Besides, du has *always* posted what republicans are doing and saying and analyzed it and figured out how to argue against it or at least shared disgust.

4. Nothing wrong with keeping up with what's happening politically, but these posts about how tall

Barron is, or what Melania is doing, or silly posts about his hair, his hands, his weight, ad nauseam really make me wonder how many here secretly adore him. It's sickening.

Btw, I love your take on PTSD!

5. True, Barron's height is of no concern here.

6. I've loathed Former Orange Lardo since before 2015. Nothing that comes out now is

surprising or can increase the level of loathing I feel.

7. I think it might have to do with the fear and anxiety so many people are still feeling about him and

the hell he put us through.

Kind of like, you can't take you eyes off him for a minute because you have no idea what fresh hell he will unleash upon us when we least expect it. He has a habit of doing that.

As much as I despise seeing him, hearing him and hearing about him, in some ways I feel more comfortable knowing exactly what he's doing than I would if his actions were shrouded in secrecy.

8. I can relate to that.

The "keep your enemies closer" adage.

Makes sense, and he has been blathering more lately.

Thanks to everyone for your take.

10. Kind of like watching a toddler.

It's when you can't hear or see them that you should be the most worried.

9. He continues to hold and exercise a huge amount of power,

and continues to threaten our entire democratic system, while new information continues to emerge every day about criminal acts that he and his cronies committed while he was in office.

Some people on here consider this to be significant enough to be worthy following and discussing, and most of them probably aren't even infiltrators.

If you don't find these things to be worthy of discussion on a political discussion board, you can arrange to have threads trashed by keywords, so that you don't even have to see most of it.

Edit: I apologize if I sound snarky. The entire situation in this country has me extremely stressed.
