that if you don't have 30,000 posts to your name and dare to want to have a nuanced discussion, immediately start accusing you of being a Russian Troll. The Gavin Newsom thread would be an example where he's a democratic figure but making statements on trans issues and other topics that are against what most consider democratic values and many don't agree with, and how can we have a conversation about that if people aren't allowed to post saying they don't agree with his actions without being told speaking out automatically makes them a Russian troll?
