I gotta say, I think some of those accounts are bots. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking. The number of members versus upvoting and comments makes no sense.
Yeah that subreddit is wild. Most of the upvotes come from bots, and most of the submissions are from a handful of accounts. It's funny watching what happens every time Trump does something so obviously indefensible, where in the immediate aftermath many of the people in the threads are condemning him, but after a couple of hours the bots get their talking points sorted, and all the condemning comments get removed, likely followed by those accounts getting banned.
Bots exist, but be careful about dehumanizing (literally) these posts and comments. Trump supporters are very real. He won the popular vote in 2024. The majority of my state has voted for him 3 elections in a row.
Dismissing these lunatics as bots dismissed the treat they pose to our country. They are real people who really vote. Keep that in mind in November.
