Donald Trump’s Second Life fans are vulgar and sad, but they taught me something

The 2016 United States presidential election is weird, but the Internet is doing its best to prove it can always get stranger.

Supporters of Republican presidential primary leader Donald Trump recently turned into demons and stormed the unofficial headquarters for Bernie Sanders in the online virtual world of Second Life while shouting “Trump! Trump! Trump!” This is an online world where people can take on an alternate identity and coexist with others in a 3D social space. Bixyl Shuftan, a (and this is the best thing I’ve ever written) “roving furry reporter,” first wrote about political griefing inside Second Life last week and revealed that the battle between Trump and Bernie supporters escalated beyond characters shouting at one another.
