In reply to the discussion: Trump Actually Is Trying To Destroy America Anyone Else Notice? [View all]certainot
(9,090 posts)25. they're just dittohead teabags. most of trump's base is greatly exaggerated and soft
a huge part of it was secondary and tertiary victims of 30 years of talk radio buzz piggybacked by kremlin trolling ops, getting the "hillary is the most corrupt corporate politician in the universe" bullshit, etc. most were just too lazy or, by billionaire design, to busy to get some truth
wait till the base finds out mueler may expose the talk radio gods as 10 yr putin tools
trolls have described they get topics to work on. somewhere in the process russians with little knowledge of US politics on the ground had to coordinate by state and you cant get that by watching fox. you can by listening to the the major rw talkers in the state.
From Operation Trump, by Gabriel Sherman April 3, 2016:
Throughout 2014, the three, Roger Stone, Michael Cohen, and Sam Nunberg fed Trump strategy memos and political intelligence. I listened to thousands of hours of talk radio, and he was getting reports from me, Nunberg recalled. What those reports said was that the GOP base was frothing over a handful of issues including immigration, Obamacare, and Common Core.
the russians have probably been using talk radio since at least 2008 when breitbart started, manafort was mccain campaign co chair, and limbaugh would not support mccain until he picked palin (limbaugh flipping within minutes of the public announcement) who had already been in contact with russians re oil and gas and alaska.
then in 2009 there was limbaugh creating "climategate" out of russian-hacked emails (like the DNC)
roger stone told jeffrey toobin he was using talk radio back in 2000 to beat gore. other guys involved in this like credico and corsi are very connected to talk radio.
now thanks to AI-enhanced transcription its easy and cheap to digitize all that talk radio
and if the social media cos want heads up on trolling topics they only need to sample some talk radio repetition

What would be novel is if someone posted "I think Trump is doing a great job! 4 more years!"
