There are several who regularly post on this site. They are not attempting to present any rational, thought-provoking ideas to defend their positions. They post to incite and agitate.
What is the best approach to dealing with these trolls?

My thoughts are:
1.) Ignore them completely. They want attention and when they do not get the desired result, they will wither and
die on the vine.
2.) If we feel it necessary to respond, do not try to present facts. Do not confuse them with facts, their mind is
made up! You will never convince them of the truth, and it will not matter anyway because their goal is to
agitate not to present a differing well thought out discussion. They are not capable of reasoning.
3.) If we must respond, let's use short concise responses. Some good ones could be liar, troll, bless your heart, etc.

Your thoughts on the best troll repellant, please.

The solution to corrupt government is not more government. He is correct on many of the issues we face, but, he is wrong on all the solutions he promotes. Progressive socialism/marxism is not the answer. Neither is the crony capitalism we have today.

Just look at todays story on Argentina and the turn around that is developing there following libertarian policies of less government and more fiscally responsible government budgets.

I understand your point. I'm not only Maga, but I'm also a John Adam's fair man.

Look, I'm all for vigerious debate. Whether you are a Biden supporter or a Trump supporter. We need the debate as a free society.

But why can't administration enforce the Harvard rules of debate?

When you insult the subject matter that's okay, but killing the messenger is not okay.

For 67 pages, about 10 years ago, I was in an intense debate that became personal. This was unacceptable and both me and the debater were warned by administration at our retorich.

When news came out about the thread long gone, many of my conservative friends at the time fought with greater insult against my opponent. When insult enters into debate the debate is over. I was upset justifiably at my opponents insults, but my anger got worse when my allies insulted my opponent.

Insults do not do what a debate does. Debates increase wisdom and we become better people. Insults destroy us, and we become enemies.

My only advice to you and everyone is stick to the subject matter at hand. TDS is just as bad as BDS(Biden Derangement syndrome)

George Soros built this $80 million secret weapon to guarantee Trump’s defeat

Just because Joe Biden trailed Donald Trump in the polls for the last year doesn’t mean Democrats are throwing in the towel on the November election.

Liberals saved their dirtiest trick for last.

And George Soros built this $80 million secret weapon to guarantee Trump’s defeat.

Soros funds $80 million effort to silence free speech
The Democrat Party gives out names as a means of misdirection.

The Affordable Care Act took away millions of Americans’ health care plans and caused prices to skyrocket.

The Free Press is another example of this gaslighting.

Free Press is a media group funded by George Soros that bills itself as a group that “closely watches as the decisions shaping the media landscape are made and sounds the alarm when people’s rights to connect and communicate are in danger.”

But the aim of this group is not to protect the rights of Americans to communicate.

Soros donated $80 million to affiliated groups with the goal of stopping Americans from speaking online.

“One of the wealthiest men in the world is using his vast wealth and power to silence regular Americans ahead of the 2024 election. At a time when defending free speech is key, leftists are trying their best to shut down the voices of half of America, especially those who disagree with the radical agenda promoted by Biden, Soros and most Big Tech executives,” Media Research Center Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider told Fox News.

Free Press put together a letter signed by 200 groups, journalists, and academics calling for massive online censorship ahead of the 2024 election.

“The document attempted to justify that it was written with reducing ‘real-world harms’ and ‘the rise of extremism and violent attempts to overthrow democratic governments’ in mind. However, it appears its true design is to pressure Big Tech companies to silence speech the left despises as 60 countries across the globe gear up for their elections in 2024,” Media Research Center associate editor Joseph Vazquez reported.

Soros-backed groups plan massive election interference plan
The Free Press and their affiliates are pressuring their ideological allies in Silicon Valley to crack down on speech before November.

This is unprecedented election interference.

However, it’s in line with the lessons the Left took away from the 2016 and 2020 elections.

In 2016, social media allowed free speech online.

Donald Trump won.

In 2020, Big Tech closely curated the content on Facebook and Twitter, not allowing anyone to contradict the establishment’s narratives.

Facebook and Twitter also censored the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story.

That tightly controlled information environment allowed Joe Biden to prevail.

Calling out Soros
Soros hopes to recreate the censorship regime of 2020 to help Joe Biden win in 2024.

“But even more disturbing was the letter’s implication that its primary target is interfering in the 2024 U.S. election,” Vazquez warned.

“This development is directly in line with Soros’ brand, who has dedicated millions of his ungodly fortune to groups looking to interfere in elections by stifling online speech,” Vazquez declared.

Vazquez also sounded alarm bells about the radical ideology behind the Free Press’ founding.

Vazquez’s report stated that the “explicit push for speech controls is especially disturbing in light of the stated vision of one of Free Press’s founders.”

Free Press co-founder Robert W. McChesney stated the goal is to turn America into a socialist nation.

Back in 2000, McChesney wrote that “our job is to make media reform part of our broader struggle for democracy, social justice, and, dare we say it, socialism.”

The Free Press demanding Big Tech impose even more onerous censorship protocols than in 2020 is yet another step in helping to accomplish that goal by assisting Democrats in winning a trifecta of the White House and both chambers of Congress in November.

Why doesn't someone "disappear" this A**Whole???
