transcriptA tumblr post by voidambassador.

It is an image made to look like a quote, it says: "Alienate your progressive voters by courting the center-right at all possible opportunities - Sun tzu, the art of war.

It has a reblog with a screenshot of a comment saying: "what policy she has that is center right [sic]? that makes no sense this has to be ragebait."
It has another edited quote saying: "If you do not immediately agree with a post on the internet, it has no intellectual backing and is singularly intended to offend. - Sun Tzu, the art of war.

There is a final reblog. It shows a screenshot of the tumblr messages icon, showing that there is 72 new messages sent to the author of the post. This reblog is equipped with yet another edited quote saying "uh oh - Sun Tzu, the art of war".

End of Transcription.

It is a very similar set up, someone doing a bit, on a virtual stage, for the purpose of telling jokes, and not having a conversation with their audience. Gimmick accounts are something that have been around for a long time, and there has never been an expectation of interacting with them on a serious level.
