    I don’t normally read local newspaper comment sections because only insane people post there but I kept scrolling thinking there’d be more text and saw the comments on that article. The NY Post commenters seem uniquely insane in specific ways.

    I almost think they’re bots. Most local news sites have people saying random crazy shit like, “It ain’t even safe to go to the Circle K no more!” but there’s no theme. NY Post commenters are still obsessed with Hunter Biden. It’s like Rupert Murdoch had some people set up a bot farm for the election and they all forgot to turn it off when Biden dropped out.

    Or maybe Staten Island residents are just like that?

      It’s the NY Post, it’s a trash tabloid to start with, so yeah its demographic is going to be correspondingly worse.
