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

    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.

    I'm saving this when she inevitably cuts a deal to throw Trump under the bus for leniency

    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.

    This sounds like a real win-win. Looks like the swamp is trying to drain itself

    They can grow old in prison together. Just remember to not let her out once Trump is gone.
