I felt like this whole thing is extremely inorganic. Funded by a WalMart heiress, website went up hours before a massive NYT ad buy, and (in my opinion) what felt like lot of coordinated / paid / botted engagement.

Idk, I don't want the internet to be dictated by followers/engagement that can be easily botted via a SMM panel for pennies.

How do I get in on that gig? I showed up because I thought I was protecting democracy from a felon who is taking billions in bribes. Like a chump!

I feel like your reply is extremely inorganic.

And how come criticizing left-wing protests is fine, but bringing up right-wing botting/trolling operations on this website isn't?

"Curious..."

The call to protest at some specific location and time might be "artificial", but people have to want to protest. Trump has simply managed to inspire millions to do so.
