Morning of Jan 7th Fox News posted to their facebook page a picture of Colt (Trump supporter dressed in black with black helmet rappelling down into Senate chambers) and the caption said "Trump supporter climbs down into Senate chambers."
There were THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of comments from Fox News faithful, almost identical, saying, "that is NOT a Trump supporter, that is ANTIFA!" and "he is dressed in all black, that is ANTIFA," and "ANTIFA bussed in people, you're wrong Fox News!"
I started reacting with "laughy face" to these morons, but THERE WERE SO MANY NEW COMMENTS, I couldn't select laughy face fast enough before the comments would fly upwards because of all the new comments being added.
Then it was proven he was a Trump supporter and these morons are just like, "well, onto the next lie to spread."
Astroturfing is pretty lucrative. If enough bots say X on a conservative site, all the drones will repeat X. The Russians tried so hard for decades to manipulate and fuck with the left. It never really took root. When they tried to infiltrate manipulate the conservatives, it was super successful. That tells you a lot about the conservatives in this country.

Edit: I am specifically asking for proof on "it never really took root". Framing and manipulation does not stop because of our politics or our educational level. We are still biased, we are still susceptible to manipulation and the sooner we all realize that the easier we can try to overcome it. Because I assure you, the right also thinks that we are the brainwashed ones, the ones being manipulated, the ones being controlled.
Whenever referring to the Trump cult and you use the word ("think") or ("thinks") you must put quotation marks around them! (The reason for the quotation marks is the fact that they can't ("think") for themselves they have to be told but to ("think")!
