Either ignore their posts or respond with a counter without expecting to change their minds. As Azure touched on a little bit, trying to control what people say leads to an echo chamber and creates a victim mentality. Neither of which contribute to reasonable discussion.
Well he meets all the definitions of a troll.

No meaningful engagement, posting controversial stuff just for reactions, posting misinformation, posting low quality articles from poor sources with no attempt to discuss or engage etc. That’s what trolling is. Posting garbage to illicit strong reactions in bad faith.
