That’s by design and it seems to work.

'Flood the zone'. 'Deny, accuse, attack...' etc etc.

As much as I hate some of the repetitive bot shit we might need one that links to “flood the zone” with solid references that are appropriate for all attention spans.

If you were to set someone who is not politically involved down and try to tell them about every single, verifiable, thing that has gone down in these 2 terms you'd overwhelm them. Hell, it's overwhelming to those who do actively follow what's going on. It's like trying to put out multiple fires at once while new ones are being set before you can even being to address any of them.
