He was one of those awful semi-ironic left-wing T***p supporters back in the day.
Really? I actually don't remember that at all. IIRC, he was posting very little during primary season, and I don't remember him commenting on Trump.
I remember an IRC chat in which he said that very explicitly (along with, sadly, Gully, whom undoubtedly should have known better). I also note he hasn't denied it.
Me? An ironic Trump supporter? No, I don't think so. I have to admit I found Trump hilarious - and quite frankly despite everything - I still sort of do. But I don't think I ever bought into the delusion that he was a 'joke' candidate (rather, I made one huge error of judgement - thinking that sufficient GOP voters would turn off against Trump so he would lose, what I didn't realize is pretty much all those people had stopped voting GOP a long while ago).
Ftr, like Mikado, once Trump started leading the polls long enough that it was clear that he wasn't a 'flavour of the month' I thought he would win the nomination. Because I tend to trust polls, for my sins. And still do, at least in comparison to CW.
