Seriously, WHAT is THE DEAL with conservative disinformationists scattering ALL-CAPS WORDS throughout EVERYTHING they WRITE?
My THEORY is that it’s MEANT as a SUBSTITUTE for LOGIC and REASON - that in LIEU of saying things that are ACTUALLY logical, reasonable or true, they JUST say things really LOUDLY.
It MUST be TRUE because it’s so EMPHATIC, right?
And it PROBABLY triggers a PAVLOVIAN response in the DUNDERHEADS who READ it. “LOOK at all the CAPS! This is MY kind of TRUTHINESS!”
It’s just… WEIRD. And sort of PATHETIC.
If you Want to be REALLY TRUMPIAN you need to also Sprinkle in a Bunch of words that are Merely Capitalized rather than Always using ALL CAPS!!!1
Ow. I think I pulled a reading muscle.
Wouldn’t that just make it more German than anything else?
Nah, in German they capitalize all nouns, but Trump does it at random.

It’s because instead of using logic to reason, they use emotion: usually outrage, fear, uncertainty, anger, distrust. All while of course projecting the ‘overly emotional and illogical’ stamp onto “bleeding heart liberals”.
Caps conveys what their audience pays attention to.
It’s a form of poetry that appeals to skimmers who want the tone and feeling with the fewest possible nouns to remember.

I read this in Seinfeld’s voice
New typing quirk just dropped
I absolutely support her going to jail for Trump.
Fantastic.
I’m saving this when she inevitably cuts a deal to throw Trump under the bus for leniency
Dear Laura,
Fame and fortune awaits!
She only lasted two hours at Xitter.
Why did she lock herself up there?
I think she got banned from them, back when they were a normal social media platform. And she locked herself to one door, so everyone going in used the other door and didn’t care. Someone else posted a link about it.
she did it over getting banned? Hilarious
Fuck knows what the crazy person thinks.
‘And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head.’ – from Maskerade by Terry Pratchett.
Ahem:
lol.
Thank you for your time.
I must say that I am willing for him to go to jail with Trump.
Sombwody’s in wuuuuuvvvv.
She won’t go to jail for him though. This is just a preliminary call for all the fascists to get ready to incite violence if he loses the election.
Threatening us with a good time, I see.
Two crazies locked up with one sentencing?
Ok then.
They can grow old in prison together. Just remember to not let her out once Trump is gone.
I wonder where they’ll find handcuff keys at Riker’s Island.
Find someone that looks at you the way this lunatic looks at Trump.
Not enough exclamation marks. I can’t take it seriously.
