This is the real issue with troll communities (and subreddits). The_Donald started out as a troll community, and it was effectively overrun with nutjobs.
Yes, satirizing these people is hilarious, but they're often too stupid to differentiate between ironic support and endorsement and actual agreement. These are the same people who routinely fall for The Onion articles.
Don't be surprised at the level of stupidity people are willing to duck under to confirm their own beliefs. Lol
A wise man once said "Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company."
Makes me think of the "fake it 'til you make it" saying. Guess the "pretending to be an idiot" folk end up becoming idiots from all the faking they did.
