I don’t understand down votes on this board

Sometimes they don’t make any sense. Case in point.
Most of the time the downvotes make total sense from both sides but in this case the downvotes seem pretty high for this particular subject matter.
It makes you wonder if there’s such a thing as vote bots.

I mean, aren’t they basically crossing each other out, more or less, as it stands?

Just tell everyone you are anti-Trump without the "clever" bullshite.

Are you under the assumption that Trump wasn’t popular before the arrival of the E train? Are you losing sleep over an anonymous message board? You too may be eligible a weekend of fishing offshore to relax and get perspectives

I'm guessing there are a lot of OTrs that just come to tPT during drama that looks bad for Trump, and leave their stank.

Only women and figs care about up/down votes
*ETA: and that post sucks. It's just random talking points without much logic or coherence outside of "Trump can do no wrong" and it completely ignores (I wonder why) the legit criticisms of big Spending Trump. Not being able to understand why some people would criticize that post gives high cult energy.

People who downvote are petty little passive aggressive dweebs.

Agreed but it also makes you wonder if people put too much importance of up/down votes on a forum board.

That's a very culty thread/subject, so the downvotes are deserved.

When nothing else comes to mind, which is all the time, bust out the old-fashioned “cult” response. I would say it’s better than nothing, but I’d be lying b

No really. If its a crap post with bad or missing logic down vote it.
If its a great case backed with facts, stats and sound reasoning, up vote.
Leftest positions cant be reasoned or presented as logical, thus frequently downvoted.
I think its pretty simple.

I only downvote board topic police, just because I think it the lamest thing to care about and to feel like you have to point out and cry about.
I don’t understand the general psychology of downvoting otherwise. I’m glad there are people who disagree with me on things. Why would I feel the need to go ‘Grrrrr!!!’ and hit a downvote arrow just cause they do?

Yep I've noticed. Especially where jews are involved. When the hater bots show up they'll down vote 4+4 = 8;

I downvoted it. I'm not a bot. He's just a purity-spiraling fgt and I'm sick of brainless MAGA zealots bending and twisting logic to always cast Trump as an infallible messiah.
'Because he got his feelings hurt?' How about because he nuked his own reputation to combat corrupt government waste only to find that no one, including Trump, was ever really serious about it.
The Epstein tweet was way out of line, but aside from that, Elon reacted exactly as I would have.

Most people never look at downvotes, so its kind of a wasted tactic.

Same. Instead of downvoting, just voice your opinion.

I downvote every post that complains about downvotes.
The ones I downvote the most are the ones complaining about one or two downvotes of something that no one could be opposed to, like a dog saves a child. Those downvotes are almost certainly someone fat-fingering a phone who doesn’t realize he downvoted. But some stout TD yeomen wants to go to fist city with the evil rogue.

They stopped trying to twist logic weeks ago. Now it's just "I don't care about anything else, I support Trump." That first week with the tariff discussion was the end of reason for that crowd.
