Best troll/controversial poster of the Trump era

[PragmaticPopulist]

Curious to see how this goes. I only included banned users in this because posters who aren't banned still have unwritten legacies.

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

I liked Texarkana other than the sexual creepiness.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Public unofficial. Never should have been perma banned.
Make Atlas Have "Angry Greatness" again

[Calthrina950]

I liked Texarkana other than the sexual creepiness.

Agreed. And I believe that Greedo should be given another chance down the road, when he's matured some more, and if that's still possible.

[NewYorkExpress]

Texarkana manages to be both the best troll and the worst troll at the same time.

Cora's just barely more controversial (supporting blowing up Israeli children and all), but Texarkana's sexual creepiness is slightly worse overall in my opinion.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Reaganfan solely due to the thread where he argued that sexual harassment wasn’t a big deal because his mother was harassed in college and she wasn’t bothered by it but then another poster brought that his mom might not be a good example because she once commented on his bulge size on a FB post and even shared an image of the post and comment. Watching that play out live was something else

[VAR]

Greedo,  TexArkana, and Eharding (I’m vaguely familiar with all of them). Idk much about Reaganfan

[Santander]

Eharding is a friend of mine, so I support him. But publicunofficial's posting style was by far the best.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

I was only really around for Lear, Greedo and Tex. I think.

[Calthrina950]

This is the same for me, except that you can add Reaganfan and publicunofficial to the list. Eharding, who was still active when I initially registered my account back in late 2016, was apparently banned because of racist and anti-Semitic insinuations that he posted on here and in the Atlas Discord feeds. I have no idea why AHugeCat, EnglishPete, and Cora were cast out.

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

TexArkana's signature may be gone, but it will never be forgotten.

[Kuumo]

TexArkana's signature may be gone, but it will never be forgotten.

America's Sweetheart/The Booty Warrior was by far the cringiest thing on Atlas back when I was still a lurker. I was very relieved when TexArkana was finally banned so I wouldn't have to live in fear of that signature popping up in the middle of an otherwise decent thread. There's a place for images like that, but it ain't the Atlas Forum.

Yeah, his signature is why I avoid watching Atlas in the school library, despite lurking this forum for almost four years.

[S019]

publicunofficial seems okay from what I've seen of them on AAD, while annoying Greedo seems harmless compared to this list, and King Lear's biggest issue was being a concern troll, given the rest of the people on this list are literal bigots, the top 3 is easy to pick

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

If they were banned, they were not good trolls.

[Progressive Pessimist]

King Lear, Reaganfan, and Texarkana. Though that's only because they're the only ones I am familiar with on this list.

[PSOL]

If they were banned, they were not good trolls.

Furthermore, a lot of them were universally despised and not “controversial” in how most people would see them.

[Coolface Sock #42069]

King Lear REALLY knew how to push people’s buttons, so him. Krazen for the same reasons.

I’d have picked LimoLiberal if he was on the list since he was even better than King Lear at getting people all riled up.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I miss English Pete.

I disagree only because his trolling and bizarre points of view predated the Trump era substantially. He is a troll for the ages.

I think I may have shared this before, maybe only on a a d. This sums Mike naso up to me so well. He pmdd me maybe a year or so before being banned ask why I seem to hate him so much. He explicitly asked me if maybe it was because I might be black or Jewish. I'm not either, but point was he asked it so matter-of-factly as if to acknowledge if I was either I might have a legit reason to think he was a jag off. And all the while not displaying even the thinnest hint of self-awareness that, if that were the case, maybe that was a really bad thing on his part.

Racist, bigoted, and utterly clueless all combined to the nth degree. Reagan fan in a nutshell.

[Badger]

I miss English Pete.

You don't realize how bad a thing that is, do you?

[Badger]

Krazen is a homie

You misspelled a******.

His signature was honestly the least offensive thing about his presence here.

[Xing]

These days, “good troll” seems to be an oxymoron.

What do you think Santander is?
