Gotta love the format of:

Random article posted. Then OP (bot) posts a 4-5 sentence comment opinion of how great Trump is.

Rinse and repeat

I love that part, you have to go through a vetting process to check your a republican but still get so many “infiltrators”

Bro every time I end up in that sub it inevitably devolves into everyone pointing fingers at each other like the spiderman meme once any sort of nuanced take emerges. It's horrifyingly fascinating. It's like they see the point but jump it like a hurdle whenever they come close. They are so afraid to break ranks that anytime someone disturbs the echo chamber with a pebble that might become a ripple they jump each other like a pack of starving cannibals.

It honestly blows my mind in such a depressing way. Although lefties aren't exactly immune to this either. Although the disagreements I've seen are more liberal vs far-left. But apparently everyone hates moderates ha.

What makes you think it's a bot? I hate Trump as much as the next person, but this whole situation of accusing everyone and everything is being automated is getting out of hand when there is no evidence to back it up
