I made the mistake of commenting on some Confederacy revisionist swill posted at the garbage web site Medium. I looked up the author and discovered they were a Trump voter. So I commented, "A Trump voter, of course."
Then when I googled my name, I discovered that quote, in the search results, WITHOUT ANY CONTEXT because apparently that's how the Medium user interface works.
This is what it looks like in my search results.

So instead of it being clear that I was saying the author of the Confederacy revisionist swill was a Trump voter, it looks like I'm saying I am a Trump voter.
I am the farthest thing from a Trump voter. Trump is a monster from hell and the worst president of all time by far.
But Google search results are idiotic and Medium is idiotic. And when you go to their home page, there is no easily findable contact information. I had to got to Medium's Twitter account to tell them what I think about their user interface.
And of course I removed my comment. I will never make the mistake of commenting on Medium again.
And of course falsehoods against me from that other garbage aggregator, Tumblr, are still available from 9 years ago when I tangled with a mob of extremists.
