It wouldn’t, because the MSM would be told of the scheme and trumpet it loudly as proof that conservatism has to create “astroturf” to cover the “fact” that it has no grass roots. Just as, e.g., yesterday’s 10,000 in Times Square to protest the Iran deal will receive less air time from the MSM than 10 protestors of Donald Trump.

Yep. The mass and social media "peer pressure" tools are regulated by liberals, so (even credible) accusations of wrongdoing by liberals are suppressed, and accusations of (even imaginary) wrongdoing by their opponents are amplified. It is a rigged playing field, and the best antidote is to teach people to think for themselves.
