Geezus, where did all the right wing trolls on Joy Cardin's Facebook come from?

It seems that for the past few months, the Facebook for Joy Cardin's show has been attracting Right wing trolls. particularly that coward who posts behind that "Citizens United Against Hammer+Baseball Bat Violence" pseudonym. Did a local gasbag like Sykes, Belling or Bader tell his mouth breathing minions to go and troll her show's Facebook page or something?

Facebook doesn't know if you're responding with an insult or actually interested.

If I spot some ad I don't want to have in my newsfeed, I click the top right corner
and hide it. I get a pop-up survey asking me why I want to hide the ad
and I usually say 'not interested.'
