It just seems like every top comment is some one sentence polictard nonsense with astronomical amount of likes….. I can not imagine average people being sucked into this nonsense.
The practice is called astro-turfing.
In theory, it only takes a few 'turfers' to start a meme that regular netizens, who agree with the message, will defend or share. Get the ball rolling and then let other people push it for you.
