Trolls are out and about now on social media, more active than I've seen them of late. Several reasons:

1. The 2024 election in the US, with enormous consequences hinging on it, will bring them out more and more.

2. Putin and his US fangirl Marjorie Taylor Greene (i.e., MAGA itself) just got handed a humiliating defeat.

3. The Orange One is on trial, has to sit in a courtroom and keep his big mouth shut.

"Fascism is on the ballot. And I think that was clear in New Hampshire. …

We need to see how the movement is growing, how the movement is mutating, how it’s taking the original fear of Islam that it began with and adding more and more fears, and then combining them so that they’re indistinguishable in the mind of the Trump voter."
