Ehhh… more like the opposite. The mainstream media engaged the trolls on a mass scale and the golden turd won.

Exactly. Don't feed the trolls

All the ignoring you or I did does nothing.

Why do you think the media will ignore Donald Trump in the next election? We all know what's happened and where things will go for round 2. But if you stick your head in the sand and yell "don't feed the trolls" whenever that orange buffoon is mouthing off, you'll only cause them to grow in power.

Martin Luther King Jr. didn't inspire civil rights by ignoring his opponent's arguments. Ignoring others is probably the worst possible move you could do on a political level, because they'll just catch the attention of the media and monopolize upon the attention.
