Any computer nerd could make a bunch of bots post dumb comments. Having a task force of real life autists getting paid to type talking points from an office is sad.

Millions of people do it for Trump for free for the love of trolling and the fun of jumping on a high energy, anti- establishment movement. Me being one of those people. And it has been widely effective. Clinton literally declared war on a cartoon frog based on an article written by a journalist who got trolled by a Twitter account clearly labeled a "parody" who went by the name "Jared Taylor Swift". The real identity of the account is a Jewish teenager who thought it would be funny to post Nazi pepes and tell a clueless journalist he's part of a white supremacist movement who will stop at nothing to make mainstream pepe "toxic" in the name of the KKK.
