You mean to say all those anti Trump bots replying to his tweets are doing him a favour?


I mean to say all of those pro Trump bots organizing rallies for him in America out of Russia ;) [0]

Ever noticed how Russian groups creating Facebook pages for fake pro-Trump rallies that don't exist and don't have any attendees is "Russian groups organized pro-Trump rallies on Facebook", but them creating fake (say) BLM events that don't exist and don't have any attendees is "Russia fakes black activism on Facebook to sow division"?

Also, it requires a rather curious definition of "bots" to include actual people manually doing stuff like this. One that's political rather than technical.
