There’s the out and out troll, who doesn’t even care about or understand politics. They just want to be abusive and antagonistic because I guess their parents didn’t give them enough attention.
The ones who claim to not even follow politics and want nothing to do with it, and wish people on Facebook wouldn’t even post political stuff. Still, they can’t help themselves from sharing nasty memes they don’t understand and articles from Fox News and some weird sites with “America” in their titles.
The comedians who constantly share hilarious stuff that is usually just hateful and racist, misogynist or homophobic. Seriously, why do so many conservatives have no sense of humor?
The intellectual right winger, who tries to use big words but doesn’t know the difference between there/their/they’re. As proof of their stupid points, they often cite articles from propaganda sites they think is news, and YouTube videos made by some beardo in their mom’s basement.
The Independents and Libertarians who somehow always have the same exact views and talking points as Fox News. They will offer their take, and it’s the same exact take that they all have, copied and pasted from the same Fox News article, while all the time they pontificate about how they think for themselves and aren’t left or right.
The ones who are in way over their heads, who think that they are politically literate, but whenever you present a valid viewpoint or argument, they respond with personal insults because they have no actual response.
The angry baby boomer, who thinks millennials are the cause of all the world’s problems, along with snowflakes who cry about everything. Meanwhile, they get all twisted up over Starbucks cups and some football guy kneeling, and they think all music made after 1979 is garbage, except maybe the Foo Fighters and Greta Van Fleet.
The financial tycoons, who care only that their 401k is doing well and that the economy looks good, at least on paper, and refuse to acknowledge that it was doing quite well during Obama’s tenure, and he was responsible for most of what is happening today.
The churchy types, who only care that Trump is going to save us from the heathens and sinners because he was sent here by God to save America.
The true patriots, who think that the way to make America great is to actually shred the Constitution and go against every policy and sentiment that makes America what it is.
The gun nuts, who think that the solution to all of our gun violence problems is more guns. Also, you’re stupid because you call an AR-15 an assualt rifle or something, and thus you have no business talking about mass shootings in the first place.
The Russian bots who post on every single article in broken English, and can only get away with it because they don’t seem that much dumber than actual Americans. When you check their profiles, they have only been on Facebook for a month and have a generic profile pic, and a few posts about The Office or Friends or The Simpsons because they are obviously good, pop culture obsessed decadent Amercan swine.
*disclaimer I know that there are some perfectly decent conservatives out there who are just as appalled by Trump and where their party is going, and I count them among my friends. Not every Republican is like anyone on this list, but there sure are a lot of them shooting their mouths off on social media everyday. Most real, decent conservatives I know don’t even engage in political talk on Facebook.
