A trifecta is three; Elon and reddit are two. Maybe you forgot to mention the paywall?
You are not using the word "trifecta" properly.
I mean, we aren't using it in the literal sense here. Literally, a trifecta is when you correctly guess the first three finishers in a race, in the correct order.
Now, if you had a propensity for blocking people who spoke about Elon, and you had a propensity for blocking people who spoke about reddit, and you had a propensity for blocking people who linked to paywalled articles, then you could colloquially say that OP "hit the trifecta", and "won" a ban.
Offhand, I can't think of a specific word where two instigating factors invite a specific response. I'm sure there is one, but I am equally sure that word is not "trifecta".
The best colloquial term for that rant is probably "doubling down".
You are correct on one thing: I have not heard that phrase used in the manner in which you describe.
I suppose you could say that, but no, I could not.
You could if you had faith in yourself. My momma always said "Jeff, you could do anything you want if you weren't so damned stupid". That's why I never had faith in myself.
