This is helpful, along with the rest of the comments. I’m glad I made the post because it does irritate me he supports it, but I see how/why that could happen. I think his trusting Kushner was his biggest mistake.
What makes you think I’m an infiltrator? I’ve been here since the beginning, and I’ve always been honest and upfront about what I think.
I've seen it a couple of times, off word choices. You use communal words like "us" and "we" in what is normally a very individualistic and often self-antagonistic subforum. Atop this, much of KiA2 may be sympathetic to Trump, but they're not T_D and certainly not a hivemind on it, so beyond the normal unusual feeling of someone you don't really know declaring "we" together, it's on a subject that is not a settled view.
Compounding this factor is your username, Pepe's Covfefe. It can haz dank memes, sure, and as we all know memes only get better with age, but it isn't really KiA. Of course, this is simply explained away with the fact you're primarily a Patriots poster, or originally one like 4 years ago when that name would've been relevent, but it adds onto the "odd one out" aspect.
Putting the three together basically turns it into "How are we doing, fellow kids?". Like, literally so: You're using inclusivity language, implying the viewpoints of the people present, and using aged memes. Toss in some... odd views you've espoused IIRC, and it gives an aire of insincerity. Any given one of them is fine, lots of people have old usernames, lots of people with ESL use odd pronoun choices, and some people do fundamentally misinterpret a forum's "lurk moar" values, but add all them together...
Add onto this that you've had some... "hot takes", let's say... (I don't normally remember "controversial" up/downvoted posts and the names of the people who make them but your dank meme name is somewhat memorable) and it's actually a tactic directly out of psychology textbooks, to use grouping language in order to draw the listener/reader into your group with "us" and "we", then putting forward an additional idea in order to imply to your target that it is logical or reasonable to automatically hold that second view because you're part of a grouped identity.
If you're sincere, it's the equivalent of a person going to a costume party NOT on Halloween dressed as a cop, entering a grocer on the way and yelling "PUH-LEASE" as a speech impediment "please", and then being confused when people believe you to be some sort of officer. Entirely possible, but the misinterpretation is reasonable.
EDIT: All that said, it's fine if you are a letter org too, or even just an outside troll. Have fun, you're welcome here, enjoy your paycheck. There's no rule against you being here even if that's case. I'm definitely not from a letter org, and definitely not from IGN hiding in plain sight through absurdity in specific denial, but you're still welcome as far I know.
I can see how using “we” in this forum could be inappropriate. I feel a kinship with people here and other .win boards, so it’s something I just said without too much though. Regardless, the post did generate meaningful conversation, and it did help me to understand what could be going on with trump and the vaccines.
I still like my username lol. I don’t actually think the relevancy of Pepe will ever go stale like other memes. It’s grown to an archetype at this point.
You are misinterpreting me, but I appreciate the input.
Hey, it's all good either way. Misunderstanding happen, part of life. Have a great day now, yahear?
