It's all Indian trolls/bots until proven otherwise.

Trolls and bots exist, but so does MAGA.

We can't keep pretending that MAGA isn't a thing.

MAGA is a thing but there are a lot less (70% less) of them than appears. Twitter location exposure proved it. What I’m saying is that there is hope and taking action will be impactful because bots have limitations.

bots can't hit the streets. bots can't put up counter propaganda in your town. bots can't talk to your neighbors face to face

This is what I'm talking about. We keep downplaying how many there are and how motivated they are and WE KEEP LOSING because of that.

Stop doing it. At this point, what do you need to take them seriously?

I operate under the assumption that everyone is maga until I see otherwise, but then again I live a red neck area of a red state.

Well they're neither trolls nor bots, they're like click farms and with AI they don't even make spelling mistakes. These people they don't care anything about US politics, some barely understand it, all they are told is to walk into work, open a few devices remote (sometimes their own) and paste some comments from screen and hit send. Do captcha if prompted. They'd work for whoever is paying them that day. I think it's time to fight fire with fire, pay for fake accounts that spew love and tolerance onlinrvlm

Idk man, with the looks some people give me (a visibly trans person) at Costco, I wouldn't doubt it.

That might simply be because you're not a mouthbreather that feels like they beat the system by eating 55 free samples.

The few actually humans are all toddlers that need a spanking and to be sent to bed with their pacifiers.
