Basic forms: either a self-valorizing troll is bravely doing battle against the forces of PC liberalism, or a recently deleted or disemvowelled troll is protesting that he's being oppressed by those same forces.

These guys are reliably clueless about what centrists, liberals, and leftists actually think and believe, and their own ideology is an incoherent patchwork of borrowed opinions. The one thing they're sure about is that being a right-winger means they're right.
