Steps to Maintain Sanity: Don't Feed the Trolls

Listen, I get it. We need to keep an eye on the political trolls because there are a significant amount of people who listen to and believe their BS. That being said, I don’t need people who share every stupid thing these trolls say. Even if that troll is one of the richest people in the world. I don’t need a social media feed filled with dozens of people dunking on the same stupid comment from someone who makes stupid comments in order to get attention.

Enough!

I’ve always just muted trolls but I feel like I might have to take it a step further and mute accounts that share stupidity from stupid people. I just don’t need it in my life and rarely if ever do those posts leave me laughing; usually, the joke isn’t funny enough to overcome the annoyance elicited by the stupid thing in the original post. What’s even worse is that sometimes the person trying to dunk on the troll makes a dumb joke or attacks the post in a way that opens themselves up for criticism so I just end up doubly annoyed. In fact, I’m getting annoyed just thinking about it and I’m not sure if what I’m typing even makes sense anymore.
