Are they though? Ever look into the conservative subreddit or other conservative spaces? No sign of anyone turning on Trump.
So sick of the media saying "any day now".
The conservative spaces aren't a great barometer of what people think. I bet it's like an 8 bots to 2 humans ratio. There are a lot of bots in those spaces repeating the same things over and over.
To be fair, isn't that a some kind of poe's law thing? How do you detect the difference between conservatives repeating each other or bots doing it? Ever met a conservative with an original thought?
Man, this one really gets to me because I've seen it first hand how, even hours after something happens, conservachimps will repeat certain words and phrases that give away where they're getting their info from.
And don't get me started on how everyone is now repeating the stupid Trumpian phrases phrases like "believe me" every now and then. "Sad!" Ugh. 🙄
Everything's computer
I have family, one of them a doctor, who are still republicans. I think you can tell if it's a bot or not. Do they sound drunk? Not a bot. Do they sound passionate? Not a bot. Saying talking points word for word? Probably a bot. Racist? 50/50, the bots know that that's honey. It's kind of like uncanny valley, you can just tell.
Although, to your point, the bots are getting better.
Those places are heavily moderated to keep things on Trump's side. On some posts that criticize him you can go into the comments and just see 50 [deleted] comments with a fuck ton of upvotes and 4 or 5 that are celebrating with negative votes. I saw a post on reddit about this exact thing and everyone that commented was pissed off. I'm sure if I go back now most of them will be deleted.
Not that it would matter. They'll still zombie walk to the polls and vote for whoever has the little "R" after their name.
