Before I touch on that, my previous opening about "ridiculing IT" was not to ridicule your point! Rather to ridicule the Hogg movement.
As for refuting the left in general: issue by issue, person by person. I share your concern that the most common mode of communication, the internet, is being used to amplify the astroturf. So maybe the internet is as much (maybe more of ) a wasteland as MSM.
I think the vast majority of PAC, TEA Party and similar ORGANIZED groups are "authorized dissent" part of the deep state. They are roughly status quo. Trump wants to burn that down, so they are natural enemies. Trump ran a hostile takeover of the GOP, and the GOP is as much and more dangerous resistance than the openly hostile DEM party.
Trump has a plan. As the NWO-aligned systems (e.g., open borders, bad trade deals, export technology) are replaced with America first, the public will benefit.
I think the same about certain politicians like Trey Goudy who talk the talk but nothing ever comes of it. They are there to pacify and for you to think something is about get done about the corruption but it never comes. Then there is Q....and 6 months of talk, puzzles and hope. Trusting the plan is fine for a while but it is time for some real action.
