    Yeah. Take a look at common social media. It’s literally flooded again with right-wing BS justifying trump’s actions. Outright lies made over and over. There’s no way these aren’t paid troll farms doing this. The volume is overwhelming.

      This is why Facebook banned me. I relentlessly reported people for hate speech and then started telling people that Jesus will likely spit them out when they go to heaven. They got triggered and mass reported my comments. Facebook is a shit hole of Ai accounts posting psychotic bullshit.

      Just get off the service. Back up your pictures. Everything will be better once you’re gone.

      To this day, my Fox News addled dad insists that Minneapolis and Seattle burned to the ground in 2020. I’m sure there are a ton of bots, but there’s also a ton of brainwashed people out there.

        The problem is how do you troll with the truth? “Well akshully climate change is manmade!” Vs “Climate change is a New World Order Jewish Plot!!1!”

        Stupid extremist lies win pretty handily when you’re trying to hook the racist and easily ragebaited uneducated.

          Good question. Maybe some sort of similar mind games but with the goal to get towards the truth. For like a commercial, maybe put Trump on a throne and show how he sees the working class. Make him say stuff like “okay see if we can make them believe in Jewish space lasers next!” While laughing at some gaudy party. Then have some totally normal looking guy look up from a tweet and be like "they really think we are that dumb? Weird ". Maybe internet trolling could be just accounts that say things like “no one is believing this bullshit anymore. Can’t they think of something more clever to try to fool us with? My insurance rates are skyrocketing with all these hurricanes and fires from the whole damn world getting hotter. If they don’t want to give up profits at least make a believable lie for us.”

          Maybe that’s too many words but basically make fun of the messaging the right is sending and try to put everyone on their own side by pretending they themselves, and anyone agreeing with them, is smart. It’s the exact same brainwashing format the right is using. Just use it back.
