MTZI am an amateur propagandist. A hobbyist. Enthusiast, if you will.
pelespiritI have to keep saying this, and I apologize for the repetitiveness, but Republicans can stop all of this at any time. They can fire him, reign him in, anything to stop this.
Those conservative subs are 80% bots. Of course, the 20% that aren’t bots are being swayed by it.
HCSOThrowawayI hate seeing this comforting fiction.
The truth is there are absolutely tens of millions of people who think Trump is fantastic and will bend over backwards to vocally support him for virtually anything he does. Some of those people have Reddit accounts. Most of those frequent /r/conservative.
Are there bots among them? Almost certainly. We do see slowdowns there whenever overseas propaganda mills go down. Then there’s the Twitter fiasco where so many of their MAGA influencers turned out to be from Eurasia.
But patting each other on the back about how 80% of them are bots serves only to undermine the passion with which people should be opposing MAGA. I guarantee many would-be Clinton and Harris voters stayed home because they were sure MAGA was an extremely vocal minority almost entirely propped up by bots. Just look at the aftermath of those elections on Reddit and Lemmy; it’s generally mass confusion.
I’m not comforting anyone, this is reality. How many Magas show up here? They can’t talk to us because they get their asses handed to them. The bot to maga ratio also doesn’t lend itself to helping them out. If you’re talking truth social? Then yeah, maybe it’s 80% real people.
MAGAs see that reading the Communist Manifesto is a requirement for entry and simply don’t bother. They have X, Truth Social, Reddit, etc. to party on, and they’re fine with the downsides of those platforms, i.e. supporting oligarchy/technocracy.
It’s not that they “get their asses handed to them,” they’re just not here.
Compare your perception of reality with election results. Even if Trump cheated like he probably did, I doubt it was bigger than single digit percentages.
TL;DR: You simply don’t witness enough MAGAs and you naturally assume they must not exist.
gigastasioWhat’s a subreddit?
Snot FlickermanYou will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. You must be cautious.
kmartburritoIt’s where bots go to argue with each other.

AlmaccaGod, it always feels so weird to see people lying to themselves to have a circle-jerk about something they dislike.
Jokes are supposed to be funny.
Reddit hasn’t been majority nerd for at least a decade now.
Lemmy, on the other hand…
In other words, people in glass houses probably shouldn’t throw stones at people in brick houses.
Found the Redditor! I seem to have struck a nerve. Get off your high horse and go have a wank, mate. It might make you a bit less upright.
I just have a thing for people who look down their nose at others, especially if the target is objectively higher up on the matter in question.
You can guffaw at your own assumptions about me based on who’s defended by me telling you off for being dumb if you want. Doesn’t really affect me and it appears to make your day better. At least that way you never have to work on self-improvement!

You’re not my mum!
All this over a silly of the cuff comment. Go find something better to do.
Doesn’t really affect me
Haha. Sure.

How is that an assumption? You were looking down on Redditors for having less sex than Lemmings, were you not? Or was that a different /u/Almacca?

Are you asserting I made a grammatical error? By all means, point it out. Don’t be coy.
Haha [sic]. Sure [sic].
I mean, we’re equally affected if you want to play that game. You’ve replied to every one of my comments.
Honestly I like this take. Keep saying it. Better than every other moron coming in asking Democrats to do something.
They are ride or die and so far he has done little they’re not enjoying.
Who cares about raping kids? We’re getting RICH!
