5. There are more trolls because we've expanded the definition to include DUers

Dec 2012

And the presidential election brought in another crop of 'loyalists' with their litmus tests.

My experience is that old-cheerleaders never die.

They just can't find people to argue with who supported Howard Dean, John Edwards, or Wes Clark...

So, they are forced to disparage honest people with concerns about the rightward lean of compromise.

Or Democrats who own guns, or Democrats that eat meat, or whatever the cause of outrage for the week is going to be.
