This Twitter bot is mercilessly trolling Trump fans

@ben_ehlers

I think he appeals to this demographic as an embodiment of the kind of cultural anarchism that’s been brewing in the backwaters of the Internet for decades.

I agree, except I’d say they were moral nihilists rather than anarchists

Moral nihilism

The ironic thing is Twitter is more or less a complete waste of time with or with out bots.

Yes, that’s quite possible. I actually wrote the scripts to store the text corpora with who they belong to. For instance, changing a command-line option I can suddenly have a Kanye Trump, or a Bernie Hitler, or even a Kanye Bernie Hitler Trump. (Too many makes some weird, weird stuff, though.)

All you have to do is get your @tweets and potentially parse them for something to key off of to respond.

I don’t need your fucking sympathy, man. I need my fucking johnson!
What do you need that for, Dude?

[some_guy]

Kanye Trump arguing with Bernie Hitler. This is not the utopian future I was promised in grade school.

[Mindysan33]

I missed the troll? That’s what I get for having a life outside of this place!

[timstellmach]

As president, I wonder if Trump will waste time arguing with Twitter bots, or if he’ll appoint an ambassador to handle that.

A cabinet position no doubt.

I’m from Kentucky and went to school with a man named Forrest. I really hope this is him. He was a genuinely nice person.

[peregrinus_bis]

The clue is in the name they gave it.

[some_guy]

Nobody “misses” a troll.

Except maybe Mrs. Troll (rimshot.)

I wish we could start a wild troll neutering project.

@smut_clyde

So an exact replication of Trump?

@nothingfuture

Maybe it’s less racist?

Random walk mathematics make it highly probable that it’ll be less racist, given that baseline.

I put this under the category of “Damn, why didn’t I think of that!?”

[cameronh1403]

I say we apply for a grant and go to the nearest pub/bar for research!

[Papasan]

Fucking Bingo!

[cameronh1403]

That is going to be my standard response to any downers on here.

I must also compliment you on your choice of avatar. Groucho is one of my heroes.
