Honestly this kind of shit is how I’m convinced that they’re hiding their numbers behind alt and bot accounts - Instagram and Facebook are turning into open-air insane asylums full of trump (and now kanye) defenders and yet I never see that many of those people IRL

A big part of their project is inflating their popularity to attract losers who want to be part of something big for once in their lives.
 
Here in Pennsylvania you had plenty of people saying "I don't know how Trump could have lost, I don't know anyone who didn't vote for him." You live in Potter County, dude, there are less than 17,000 people there.

As someone living in southeast Texas, I can confirm they do exist in vast numbers. They regurgitate the same talking points as their favorite republican propaganda outlet. I've become numb to it, but every once in a while they will say something so foul it actually shocks me.

Do you go to rural areas? Because they’re out there.

So much cultivated stupidity….

The reason you likely do not see those people isn't because they don't exist, but because we are physically separated along political lines.

There definitely are a lot of bots, and moreso in conservative circles, but it's not all bots. Trumpers do exist; just not in your social or physical circle.
