Isn't it amazing how Trumpers all have the exact same thoughts at the exact same time. It's almost as if they were Russian bots. LOL

(20 posts)apologize to this fine piece of technology as surely a Trump supporter with their Confederate flags and idiotic racist values is clearly the dumber of the two.

(51,129 posts)Do these names have meaning for the other members of the League of Trolls? Do they lead back to real people and their IPs?

I called out a fake profile, and waited apprehensively for a flood of twaddle from folks like Donald L. Luskin or I Am John Galt, but it never came.

(876 posts)She was taking it to her church. They would all meet in a room with one of the assistant pastors. He would coach them on how to attack and harass comments on various websites. I found out because she needed help with a virus problem. Of course I looked at her history. It bothered me so much that I decided it was time for me to remove all phony christians from my life.

(14,176 posts)I think its tempting to think that once they had their man in the WH, Putin and his criminal gang have stopped employing the army of trolls. Many who write and speak better English than Trump supporters. I think they are still littering comment sections on FB, on Twitter, on YouTube, and major MSM news sites. All to give the impression that Trump has overwhelming grass roots support.

(22,497 posts)I saw it done with China's assault on The Dalai Lama. There were stupid jerk "monks and nuns" that are a part of a rogue Buddhist group that a defrocked Tibetan Buddhist monk started. They followed him around the world and protested at all his speeches.
They also had a ton of fake Twitter account and they were just disgusting. They made up lies about the Dalai Lama.

(9,090 posts)a week before the inauguration, knowing there would be protests, limbaugh told his audience of millions that obama and several hundred organizers was arranging a lot of the protests and paying protestors with help from soros and clinton donors etc. he said they were giving $1500 or more per protestor or something like that, costing billions it turns out.
this is an extension of that same dynamic. the russians saw there was 30 years of well established talk radio alt reality to piggyback and blow up - invisible to the left. 25 years vs hillary. that's what most of the botwork was about.
how long's Putin been using talk radio? trump 2014, debt default in 2011, 'Climategate' '09?
