I'm sure there are people who are making those types of comments in order to make us look bad.

But it can't be all of them.

But let's pretend that there aren't any real people/anons making the crazy comments, making racist and sexist statements and all that. Let's say they all are shills or plants or whatever.

Look at how prevalent those posts are. Include the ones the mods delete.

Then look at how many people are left.

It's not an awful lot of people left once you subtract all the problematic posts. And it's not all handshakes making those comments. It's people who have been here from the start, or have been around months or years.

It's difficult to say that Trump and Qs base(s) are growing at these wonderful rates people claim, and then see how participation on this board and others has dwindled so much.

Just go to "Top" comments and click "all time" and see how active this board used to be.

So, when looking at that, we can't have it both ways. We can't say that all or most of the "bad" comments are from bad actors and then say that so many people are jumping on the Trump/Q train.
