you can look up the Ben Garrison comic about it to get a brief, obviously-biased overview. though depending on your political views, you might be inclined to think that it was just a broken Scott being right twice a day. however, as noted his brand was "triggering the libs" for a good long while there, and it seems he's returned to it now (though in reality he's triggering almost everyone), but for awhile there he did the face/heel turn and "triggered the cons", before turning again for his current schtick. we have a word for that and it's "trolling".
