People can call it trolling or whatever they want. I guess I don't really care what people call it. I certainly made the gun violence post and others for purposes of needling people, because honestly, they earned it.
Here is what annoys me. It's when people blame people on the other side of the political aisle for things that ail the country, that in my opinion aren't really that easy or possible to politically fix. Things like gun violence or dealing with a pandemic. But there is this claim that if just they were put in charge, they would act to solve it, that they wouldn't just offer up "thoughts and prayers." Over the years I've always called BS on their claim, pointing out that when they've had past opportunities in the majority to act, they failed to solve the problem, or, more likely, it's not a readily solvable problem But then the ladies in the choir chime in and shout me down, and I move on.
But when the time comes, you can be sure I'm going to remind them of exactly what I said earlier. If you want to call my reminder "trolling," so be it.
Probably as much as anyone else on this board I understand the political realities of trying to get a caucus or political body to move in a direction you want it to move. I've actually worked for a state legislature. Getting legislation passed, even good legislation, is a craft that only skilled politicians have mastered. That is part of the reason I called BS every time I was told here about all the things that the D's were going to do once they had power.
So yeah, some people are going to be reminded of that.
