I do not see denial of evidence, data, and science as being "clever" in any
way... other than as a clever way to push even more socialism for the rich.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
