I try to read some of the comments but the liberal commenters just make me sick.
Many of them are bots, paid for and deployed by the ilk of Soros and Clinton.
During the last election, bots--programmed to respond to certain keywords--made up to 60 or 80% of posts on various comment boards, most of them pro-Hillary. [I forget the actual percentage, but it was a stunningly high number.] Bots also posted pro-Trump comments, but at far lower numbers.
Those bots are the latest attempt to sway opinion through propaganda. I think that a lot of paid activists also post for the same purpose.
Those seeking to sway opinion through propaganda do not think that people are capable of reviewing facts and making up their own minds. To them, the battle is between which side has more persuasive propaganda.
