Are political/social media boiler rooms an actual thing? Especially in the social media world?

So i spend a lot of time on reddit and there is a ton of angry anti Trump posts on there. Any time there's a new post that makes it to the top of /all or /popular, it's on a random account that was opened within the last 3 months.
After watching this season of homeland...i'm convinced this is an actual thing. I feel like there can't possibly be that much hate floating around out there.
We've seen it on both sides of the Trump saga. I've seen the same thing happen with posts from r/T_D that make it to the top. Hard to say what to make of it, really. But there does seem to be a lot of effort being put into making each side appear to have more support than they actually do.
