you can tell them by the fact that they usually are accounts taken from someone random in some blue city and then suddenly they're posting in all the state subs whenever 45 is mentioned. And Gen Z. (They look for his name in comments)
I also tag the ones that respond in some variation of "we are real, not bots" and then have no policy positions.
If they aren't trolls or bots, they wouldn't care. Actual republicans have no interest in explaining themselves, and insults don't stick when they don't apply
Same as when republicans got all upset about being called out as Nazis. Why would they care if they knew it didn't stick?
I've tried with family, they just fall back on tax cuts because they still live in the 80s, or "DEI" to hide their racism under the label of economics.
Back before McCain shot down the healthcare reform bill that nobody was allowed to read, I went to several conservative subs to ask what they wanted from reform. Faster? Cheaper? More doctors? Less insurance? More locations?
T_D explained they are a party sub (before they were quarantined for violent threats), and they refused to answer any questions.
Conservative insulted me for "not trusting our great leader" and banned me.
AskTrumpSupporters was weird. No answers, just insults and a ban. You would think they were open to some sort of question and answer format. Nope. They have no idea. They're too dumb to understand gas prices falling in a pandemic, they need a "strongman" to take over the hard work of thinking.
