Social media in the 2016 election

EDIT

The analogy was solely intended to further explain me saying, "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."

Here's the thing, though, behind all of those people doing it for the love of trolling, there are people behind the scenes feeding the information and stirring it up. These are the people that connect the campaign with all of them and make them tools being used and why this is a part of the discussion.
"A great democracy has got to be progressive, or it will soon cease to be either great or a democracy..." - TR

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." - FDR
