I’ve no doubt they are being paid, but do you remember all the unhinged lefties from Trump’s announcement onward? I’m pretty sure a number of them were being paid too, and thats to say nothing of all the wars on other forums trying to get conservatives banned.
I was newly subscribed at that time. I recall that a lot of
establishment ‘conservatives’ who objected to Trump were treating Trump supporters like crap.
Many of them were ‘zotted’ and lots left on their own, never to return.
