They are on FR too! Just check out any of the Waco massacre threads and check out posts made by so and so. You will soon understand who that is.

Have you ever come across someone on the Internet that you suspected was a paid government troll? Well, there is a very good chance that you were not imagining things. Thanks to Edward Snowden, we now have solid proof that paid government trolls are using “psychology-based influence techniques” on social media websites such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter

I've long called them Socialist Networking Sites for a reason.

The meme version of a "flash mob". Send out the talking points and let the sheepl repeat it ad nauseum to their 'friends'.

“A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (rule 6 of Alinsky's Rules For Radicals)

Honey traps have been used for decades against our politicians. Nothing new here.

Yep. There are a few. Some are very good. The others are GS1 rejects.

Considering only the stupidest of Gen X/Y/Z use these social media sewers, I could ask, does it matter?

But yes, I am sure it does, because just because the millenials are airheads does not mean that you should ignore them. Vapid as they are, they do vote, and they vote FEELINGS!

They voted Obutthole overwhelmingly, I will never forget that.

I quit facebook, after being on it for four months, years ago. It is a waste of time and such a narcissistic tool. Maybe for a business-—but now with the forcing of the sodomy ethics of Afghanistan and Saudis and “Sugar Keynes” 24/7 I am glad I have no access to it. It is just a vehicle for sewer ethics and to dehumanize people. (artificial).

They are making the rainbow (as they did “gay”) (both words kids loved) to be about sex, sex, sex——”for the children” since it is the easiest way to seduce children into the Marxist irrational “utopia” and destroy intellectual and moral development. Vice makes slaves for the State and forces HUGE governments.

They need to destroy the family and all biological connections so that we are all divided——no possibility of UNITY-—none-—now, the only institution designed to unite male and female (true diversity) is being destroyed and sodomy is being normalized like it is in all pagan, tribal cultures-—before Christianity elevated women. Desiring anal cavities is depravity and a pathology and it is learned in childhood from abuse and neglect.

Trump appears to be one of those bad guys. The government agents are easy to spot. They are quick to use racism, sexism and elitism.

Frankly, I have thought most are being paid by OFA or the Soros front groups.

They are getting more sophisticated, if you can call it that. Some of the robo-trolls are programmed to argue with each other, usually with lots of all-caps and four letter words. So they will start screaming back and forth at each other on a thread until the site just takes down the comments.

They’re pushing for their own interest: big government spending. They push hardest for candidates who have no record of cutting such spending and would never promise, for example, to cut public school teacher pay and jobs. And they push for those same smooth talking candidates with insults and other fallacies.
