I think the DNC needs to hire a thousand anti-trolls to post on social media - Youtube

Twitter, Facebook and in the comments pages of right winged propagation sites like Breitbart and Info-wars.

If you look at some of these places there are so many posts that look the same. "I am praying for our great president Trump" for example.

Even if they were given short progressive FACTS to post and re-post we could at least have a hand in this dis-information game.

I cannot see us winning another presidential election unless these fake news and fake trolls are contained. (Also we need to use an algorithm to get real news to the top of Google for a fucking change)

It may not even take a thousand people, (maybe a couple hundred college students part time?). I have made anti-Trump posts with a link and just kept clicking on pro-Trump videos and pasting them as the latest comment. It does not take that long to bombard a lot of pro-Trump and racist videos if you just keep pasting. I know that is what the Russian bots do

they would probably not even have to pay them (it has been done before you know). Mueller has had thousands of people offering their free services and sending in resumes. I am sure many would volunteer to help the DNC.

3. HUMOR: As Democrats our anti trolls would spend 90% of their time attacking each other. END HUMOR

(The type that Frank Lutz (?) did for the GOP....like labeling the estate tax the death tax)

Anyway, people who are good at swaying others would be a great help for us who want to help spread the actual truth

ETA I mean for the people to post on social media. I don't mean DU is full of RW trolls.

7. Can you be more specific? Are you saying that posting on here affects pro-Trump people

because I think they consider this the home of the Anti-Christ. We need to take the message to them.

Read the comments after this video with Jim Bakkar, (convicted about 45 counts of fraud and released from jail 1994). They are deluded people.

I bet a lot of them don't even know Bakkar was in jail for stealing money from his parishioners. Maybe they should know.

More importantly, this woman is Trump's "spiritual advisor" and gave a great "speech prayer" at his inauguration.

I don't mean going over to Breitbart or FR, I mean going to the 'neutral' sites that attract people of all political persuasions. Maybe even Reddit (not 4Chan though).
