I had a pretty low post account until trump came on scene.  Being a longtime conservative it was pretty easy to see he was not what he was claiming to be and I felt strongly enough about it to post.  Prior to that I was mainly here to learn and did not contribute much.  Of course with that comes everyone accusing you of purchasing an old account.

I like to compare them to Jehovah Witnesses or Mormons. Nobody is paying them to knock on your door, they are doing it out of religious duty. Their success rate is probably microscopic, yet they continue. Day after day, year after year.

Same with progressives. Progs seek out any and all online venues to spread their religion

You do understand that this isn't meant to be a conservative echo chamber, right? This is a GUN/2A forum, not an exclusive hangout for y'allqueda and bible thumpers.

Also, in the same way that not participating in identity politics doesn't make one a nazi, not spouting bible verses and being critical of the dysfunctional dumpster fire the political right has become does not make one a 'leftist, commie, statist'.

I think there is a certain level of paranoia that is warranted given the current state of the world. Most of the "you're a government agent, pharma shill, commie infiltrator, etc" comments come from people whose paranoia is off the charts. It's only a handful of posters who make this type of accusation when discussing certain topics.

I don't think it's a coincidence that people who think Covid and the vaccine were both designed as part of some plot to kill off a certain percentage of the worlds population also think anyone who doesn't believe this a paid propagandist.

The “trump effect”, whether you’re a rabid nevertrumper or ULTRA MAGA or even just on the periphery trying to figure out wtf is going on, certainly has a lot to do with it.

Who cares about public opinion?
Gun nuts are a highly reliable, committed voting demographic. Demoralizing and/or causing strife in this group pays dividends.

I think there’s fewer “paid deep state agents” than some speculate but certainly we’re on the radar of influence mercenaries of various types, and a good argument could be made about some of our more prolific newsbots on here about simply being self-ID’d frontline soldiers in modern info wars.

ETA if you want a fun example of targeting another demographic with info ops google the “blacktivist” Facebook page from back in 2016 era.

20 years is a long time to hack an account.
20 years ago, people had different ideas about what a good password should be.
20 years ago the account holder had a kid who is now a leftist idiot who had to clean up the deceased dad's electronic stuff.
I bet if staff had a log of password change requests there is always one right before the start of the prolific posting. All it takes is access to an email address with an account here.
Point them out, berate them, then put them on ignore.

For a while I have noticed OLD ACCOUNTS with low post counts suddenly posting heavily in political type threads.

Just wondering what makes a person suffer through 20+ years barely to not posting, with plenty of political events, and suddenly majorly interested in political goings on.  It baffles me.  

No one thread mind you, for months if not a couple years, very low post counts suddenly chiming in politically numerous times in those threads.

Welcomes low post count, old accounts offering insight into what made you decide to ramp up your posting?  Just curious about the mindset, what changed in you to want to get political in this day and age?

I'm one of those people. I've been here 19 years. At that time, this was a great firearms resource as the AWB ended. OIF and OEF was going strong. There was some political stuff but not even 10% of what there is now. I was one of those people that felt the need to return to the Army and deployed to OEF twice in the infantry. Helmand Province the first time in 2008 and the Parwan Valley in 2010. I would read the forums then but rarely posted. When Obama came along, the political rhetoric ramped up, then Trump. All that considered, nothing comes close to this demented, corrupt, moronic pedophile who is bound on imposing Communism on this country. He is in the pocket of our enemies, China, Iran and the little midget in Ukraine. Then there's Republican criminals equally as bad like Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney and Mitch McConnell. I believe this country may be lost. I was wounded in the war, I'm older and more vulnerable. I have posted more because I felt the need to say something. I also feel America is close to a civil war. Interacting with likeminded people seems like the thing to do.

Finally a thread about my people. I’ll just add that… FPNI ?? which is one of the reasons I don’t post that much, the oxygen and ink have already been exhausted by people who have 50,000 posts per year.

It’s entertaining to read, but I don’t often feel the need to add my thoughts… Much like real life conversations actually.
