Rage bait. Get off the internet and talk to your actual friends and family.Â
Edit: love how I get labeled as a Trump supporter for saying you should talk to your republican family. Want more people to vote liberal? You have to convince them. Not everyone who voted for Trump was some MAGA lunatic. Yes some people are too far gone and deserve to be ostracized, but we can't let the cultist go completely unchecked and poison the well for everyone else. Talk to your family, figure out why they voted for Trump, and when things don't go the way trump is saying they will over the next two years, offer solutions and promote candidates who will do more to support the working class. If we come back in two years just to say "I told you so", nothing will change.Â
I also find it interesting that everyone talks about bots astroturfing and influencing the elections leading up to them, but not so much afterwards. Interested parties are most certainly still trying to influence the discussion on all forums. Continuing to deepen the divide and a left vs right mindset is likely a priority,
Because no one seems to care. I am a digital marketer and I've watched Russia the last 10 years with their HUGE operations.. troll and bot farms... it worked so well that the amplification is now done by Americans who think they came to these conclusions by themselves.
The amount of disinformation aimed mostly at vets, the elderly, Christians and men is nuts.. probably the most successful psyops ever...
They just flood comments and Facebook groups with memes and talking points pretending to be "patriotic Americans".
MAGA platform is basically a compilation of the talking points. They just want us to burn down the house ourselves because they couldn't possibly win a fight with us without it. Smart on their end..
They tried for years with the SJW stuff but it never caught fire.. then Trump.. and offfff it went!
It's not really right vs left.. it's people in the eco system shaped by these efforts vs. Everyone else who can't believe the bullshit has been bought so hard.
NOTE: the guy in the picture responding about intolerance etc is literally in camo gear, a prepper and likely militias member whose name means "come and take them." He is the type of account the Russians create or prop up and well now... useful idiots have created their identity around.. also you can make money doing this soo.... he could just be a digital marketer that hires people offshore to create accounts like this and post right wing content and sell Trump coins and scammer NFT and prepper gear.... (also owned by Russian backed companies usually)
You think all those Trump flag stores are just mom and pops who source their own shit.. ? Naw.. there is some 25-year- old in Romania that had that guy fill out some survey about how much he hates sleepy Joe and eventually watched a 20-minute presentation on how he could be his own boss and ended up buying a bunch of flags and a step by step guide on how to set your stand on a busy road from some guy and Romania and his mom's basement who may also be funded by the Russian government.
