Three news outlets were recently leaked confidential material from inside the Trump campaign, but have chosen not to reveal any of the details about what they received.
The asshole actively aided the 2016 Trump campaign by releasing Hillary’s emails while refusing to release anything damaging to Republicans. What makes you think that he wouldn’t keep being a Russian puppet now?
I think a lot of our rise of extremism is that on places like 4chan and 8chan the people who were being sarcastic and the people that weren’t assumed the people they were interacting with were in the same headspace they were, and further, as time went on the two positions became blended.
Poes law in name has been around for about as long as 4chan, but Nathan Poe was making an observation based on a Christian forum in a debate on creationism and before Poe made his observation and became the name of the law, Jerry Schwartz posted advising against using sarcasm unless you put something marking it as satire on Usenet in 1983. This effect was known well before 4chan, dating back to the days of Usenet.
If you don’t say you’re joking on the internet, someone will take something at face value without getting the joke.
I wanted to find out if all those that were defending him before still are. So, I wrote something that could be taken a couple of ways to see which way would draw a reaction.

It was meant to be sarcastic. I didn’t do the /s as an experiment
Poe’s Law is a law of the internet for a reason. Unless you indicate tone text alone can easily be mistaken for genuine opinion.

For sure on all this. I more meant that our current meatspace lived reality is a result of this
Without the shared subtext of visible or audible tone, the text you write is the text we read.
Thanks Mr Obvious
Hey! I caught the sarcasm that time!
without the ‘/s’ ???
damn, u gud!!
/s
So it’s an experiment but poe’s law is obvious?
Quoth the raven, “Nevermore!”?
Then why were you experimenting? You seemed to needed to be told, considering you appeared to not know.

That too was non-obvious, thank you for clarifying.
If it was obvious it wouldn’t have worked. But, it didn’t work anyway, so who cares.
tsk, tsk, tsk.
Are you NEW here?
