      I've had a feeling of deja vu about Trump for months and I just figured it out. He's a troll.

      If Trump is essentially a troll, that suggests ideas for preventing future Trumps. We've developed lots of techniques for dealing with them.

          what I find interesting is that by using @ggautoblocker I get almost no Trump trolls in my mentions. The overlap is incredible.

          Dealing with trolls requires you to control the media. But media must be seen as fair or the public will reject it.

          Trolls are the symptom, not the cause. They arise when establishment has become fundamentally unfair, unserious. To mock & expose it.

          Media has spent decade trolling. Pols have spent 10 years manipulating media and public badly. Trump is just good at it.

          if you really want to prevent another Trump: find real compromise on immigration and get left/media to stop racist/sexist smears.

          outright hoaxing by trusted media brands (eg @nytimes) might stop Trump this time, but will enrage people.

          next time, you'll wish the candidate was as moderate and sensible as Trump. The enraged voters will listen to you even less.

          "We've developed lots of techniques for dealing with them." <-- you should share them with Twitter because they're a bit . . . lost.

          That's why I'm annoyed with the amount of reaction against him, but people convinced that ignoring not an option.

          makes sense, can't wait to see. I think we have ourselves an innovator's dilemma in politics. Story of the mini mills might help.

          Which is, of course, why any man can threaten women with graphic violence & there are no consequences. Great techniques! The best.

          John Oliver made the same comparison a while ago. We don't have working techniques. Future Trump will win the election eventually

          Obvioulsy they did not work in Trups case. Could you elaborate a bit on the techniques?

          Yes. Smart people are good at fighting trolls. But this strategy doesn't account for the rather large % that seem to like him.
