Showing results for "the troll" in Politics & Social Sciences

In 2013, journalist Ginger Gorman was trolled online and terrified, but once the attack subsided, she found herself curious. Who were these trolls? How and why did they coordinate such an attack? And how does someone fight back? Over the next five years, Gorman spoke to psychologists, trolling victims, law enforcement, academics and, most importantly, trolls themselves, embedding herself into their online communities and their psyches in ways she had never anticipated. She uncovered links between trolling, cyberhate and real-life crimes.

Beneath the crumbling Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Florida resides the "Troll in a Bowl," a sardonic creature who emerged from the depths of political disillusionment. Once a mere observer of the tumultuous tides of American politics, the Troll found solace in his makeshift bowl—a discarded relic symbolizing the hollow promises of bygone campaigns.From this vantage point, he delivers biting commentary on the absurdities of the political landscape, particularly targeting those who, in his view, have been hoodwinked by demagogues.

The election of Donald Trump in 2016, like most of his campaign, came as a shock to many Americans. How could a man so lacking in capacity, so void of any intellectual heft, become the president of the United States? How could a man with no detectable personal qualities outside of resentment and the will to dominate appeal to millions of Americans, enough so that he was able to win the highest office in the land? With this book, journalist Amanda Marcotte will outline how Trump was the inevitable result of American conservatism’s degradation into an ideology of blind resentment.
