I see this as pretty apolitical, or at least non-partisan. This seems more akin to posting a pledge drive for X that is fighting Y that we all agree is bad, but instead of people either contributing or abstaining you get trolled, repeatedly, and then get a 4-part snarky takedown post when you respond to the trolling.
The big post I made was not a response to you, but instead snarkasm who asked for it even after I knew it wouldn't be received well. It was essentially me defending my opinion and explaining it because you more or less called me out as an assuming smart ass troll, which you have just done again more or less.

Folks find ways to express opinions on Icrontic every day without being jerks about it.
I made one comment in poor taste which was meant to be funny, I've apologized sincerely for it twice in public and once in private. I'm not being a jerk.
