Bernie Sanders’ Second Life Headquarters Besieged by Trump-Supporting Swastikas, Demons and 120 Ft. Fireworks-Spewing Donald Trump Statue

As Donald Trump continues to ride roughshod over much of the United States, there’s multiple reports that Trumps’ virtual fans are riding roughshod on Bernie Sanders’ unofficial headquarters in Second Life as well. Sanders' spot is in the sim of Caspoli, located here, with a Bernie 2016 banner that can be seen from satellite -- a Roman-themed hangout space in a peaceful meadow, where Bernie supporters often gather to share news of their favorite candidate. But lately, the place has been besieged by pro-Trump griefers. I first read a report of anti-Bernie griefing from roving furry reporter Bixyl Shuftan (yes, that's a thing) and found out it wasn't an isolated incident:

“There is a picture I managed to capture of one of the flags spewing from a particle dispenser at HQ,” Sanders support group member Macaria Wind tells me, handing over an image file of a Trump swastika. “Left there by one of Trump's supporters when no one was around.”

But that was only the start. During a Bernie rally in SL, Mr. Wind goes on, Trump-supporting demons flew around Bernie’s rally, endlessly typing ”TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!" into text chat.

“Pages and pages of TRUMP! LOL,” Wind tells me. “[O]ne has to laugh at the childishness displayed by some of his supporters. In my opinion, they mimic their candidate. I must add though, what is not a laughing matter are the racial slurs and bigotry witnessed by one group member who visited Trump HQ when there were actually people there.” (Read more about that incident here.)

To be sure, virtual landowners in Second Life can bar anyone from their property. But that effort was, well, trumped, by a Trump supporter’s next move:

Yes: A giant Trump billboard/statue on a neighboring lot, spewing fireworks from his orange-colored head. A Trump supporter, it seems, went and bought property next to Bernie’s HQ for that sole purpose. So no matter where Bernie’s Second Life supporters go in his HQ, no matter what they try to say or think, Trump’s sphincter-shaped face now looms down on them from on high, forcing them to keep talking and thinking about Trump.

Which come to think about it, is not too far away from what all of us face every day, less a demon or two.

I so want to build a Mega-MetaloTrump giant robot with a talking combover. The great beast will stride around SL crushing everything it hates.

Which is most everything. But it's so hard to make a cartoon out of someone who is already a cartoon.

I've written a little more about the Trump wall after talking to the heads of both the Sanders and Trump groups (and owners of the HQs) - http://slnewser.blogspot.com/2016/04/news-and-commentary-more-on-trump-wall.html

As for cartooning the Trump trolls, I think I ended up making this one look smarter than when he originally appeared (at least to this Fox Reporter) - http://slnewser.blogspot.com/2016/04/cartoon-of-day-trump-supporter-in.html

Cn you even believe these events actually were Trump supporters and not the creation of the Bernie HQ people looking to create an conversational event and generate traffic.what happens in Vegas stays in vegas what happens in SL never really happened..

Batters Box, isn't it more likely that this was actually the work of Clinton supporters trying to make both Trump supporters and Sanders supporters look bad?
It's common knowledge that Trump supporters tend to shy away from anything that resembles a circus and Sanders supporters are too young to know what would work for them anyway. Nope, this devious conspiracy has Clinton written all over it.

I'm a long time Sanders supporter and never heard of this 'Sanders HQ in SL'...

So, who's up to building the cruz/carlyzilla.....

Enough with the myths and speculations, yes those were very real trump supporters who had built the sim, and it was incredibly fun and intelligent people talking about serious real life aspects in our real-lives.

It's tragic to what happened to it
