Really not a stretch whatsoever.

Ive been convinced since 2020 that most of the "voices" on the right are fabrications. If you take a step back it is no different than the strategy they used on fox news. Just have a bunch of people say something (regardless of whether it's true or not) and you will automatically gain real people that repeat it.

This is how they manufacture consensus and populism on the right.

Since 2020? Were you not here for "The Donald"? It was clear astroturfing then.

Yeah I was, you're right it was earlier. On the other hand it's a little different. I always felt like TD didnt take itself seriously. Like it wasnt trying to hide it's bias in the same way. It was just overtly biased. But youre right also bot driven.
