I caught GodlessCommie admitting they aren’t from the US even though they post exclusively US politics content. They literally replied to me “Democrats are Republicans”. They are trying to convince people not to vote so that the fascists keep control after the election.

      Don’t get me wrong, there are still plenty of useful idiots as well, but part of the training is how to inject talking points and herd people towards them. You can watch this play out in most right wing spaces on the internet - relative silence on the news cycle for 12 hours or so after some controversial story drops, and then the prolific posters all start organizing around a specific narrative at the same time, with the useful idiots falling in line soon after. In that intermediate time, discussing the story in those spaces will get you banned, even if you are kind of orbiting the same narrative which will eventually become canon, because they always want to be herding people into a single voice.
