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.

The left has ShareBlue (renamed from Correct the Record after the election) to pay people to try to set the online narrative with fake support. They spam Trump Tweets with irrelevant and poorly created memes. The right has a bunch of people that like shit posting and treat autism as a sport where by tracking down Shia Lebouf's flag they can level up and get 4chan street cred. If the right has the equivalent to ShariaBlue with real people dubbed "nerd virgins" locked in a room on fake accounts with multiple smart phones at once it's super effective because no one can point to it's existence.
