Apologies for the poor Bard imitation (too many syllables). But there's been a question floating around conservative internet commentary circles of late: how much of right-wing advocacy focuses on triggering leftists over making substantive philosophical points?

In a profile piece for the The Atlantic on White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, reporter McKay Coppins recounts the rise of President Trump's wonky mischief-maker. "Miller represents a rising generation of conservatives for whom 'melting the snowflakes' and 'triggering the libs' are first principles," Coppins writes.

Anything that makes the left melt or cringe is a good thing.

It’s going to get much worse for them. They ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

If you really want to see the Liberal Snowflakes, especially those in Hollywood and the Westside of Los Angeles, Convince President Trump to pull an Eisenhower and TAKE AWAY THEIR SLAVES!!!(Illegal Alien housekeepers,gardners,construction workers,.....

The entire Los Angeles area will be Shut Down overnight if he did this.

The notion of conservative rebellion is only reinforced by leftists, especially the young, who have become so tongue-tied by political correctness that they resemble schoolmarms, policing correct pronoun usage.

I've noticed that myself. It's getting to the point where trolling them is so easy we risk complacency. I'm not out to convert anyone, actually, I just want to be left alone, and it may be that the message "don't poke the bear" will suffice.

Kind of like most of us. DO NOT mess with our liberties and stuff and we’ll all get along just fine. I won’t impose on you, you don’t impose on me.

Coppins is correct that the philosophical underpinnings of right-wing thought can be lost in irony-soaked goading. But is there a use in triggering others as an end in itself?

Can getting a rise out of your intellectual opponents by challenging the core of their priors really alter their worldview?

I thought the goal was to make them flinch at our presence.
