Zillions of Fake Trump-Troll Twitter/FB/Forum Accounts Popping Up Left-and-Right
Reaganite Republican ^ | 22 February 2016 | Reaganite Republican

He's definitely thorough -and thoroughly devious- I'll give him that.

But besides apparently buying-out apparently Breitbart, (aka 'Trumpbart' lol) Trump is now unleashing wave-after-wave of online trolls to attack every single pro-Cruz post...
and twirl their virtual pom-poms in your face.

They are very easy to spot, tho- 20 - 100 followers, lame sunset or some such background they found in 5 seconds, one 'character' trait like 'I'm a trucker', and typically a profile photo that looks like a model or some other 'winner'.

And they always link Trump's own twitter account on EVERY thread... apparently getting paid per post. It's obvious they all work of the same list of talking points- when challenged in-depth, they don't seem to really understand anything but the basics... like anybody's first week on the job, I guess.

They all seem to have an assigned character, usually are anchored to a specific issue/block of voters... 'Jews for Trump', Trump-Texas, whatever. There were a bunch of Iowa/NH/SC characters on there lately -who all have disappeared- only to be replaced by a whole slew of new ones throughout Dixie today.

I've had one assigned to my website, and one to my FB page... both of which attacked pro-Cruz posts at any hour of the day or night until I blocked them.

They also jam all online polls for Trump- thus, he polls 65-85% after every debate, yet pulls a weak 32.5% when he scores his 'big win'- hardly what you might call dominating.

And they love to tell you how the race is all but over when Trump has merely 
70 of the 1257 delegates required to win the nomination- please.

These trolls always engage politely in a transparent -and brief- 
charm offensive, but it doesn't take much resistance before they start telling me what an idiot I am... and in terms that would make even The Donald blush (picture a darker orange or perhaps cinnamon color).

They also work in teams... if I get into it with one of them before I notice it's a fake-looking account, 2-3 others promptly appear to lynch me/chant in unison.

Some pathetic efforts at acting can be seen as well, of Facebook, twitter, even on Free Republic these days. Some pose as 'disillusioned' Cruz fans, others say they were 'never for Trump' and they're Christian and/or conservative and will be 'glad to support him' in the general.

That's because the Trump campaign knows perfectly well there are legions of conservatives so astonished by a GOP primary that could nominate a lifelong liberal and potential tyrant that we just might stay home if he's foisted upon us.

I would hate to do it -held my nose and voted for Romney last time- but Trump is simply not acceptable to large swathes of the voting public. And numbers bear this out, regardless of how loud he and his trolls/supporters shout at us.

This article is ridiculous but there is a massive army of Trump supporters online, but it’s organic, not bought.

Trump is notoriously frugal... You really think he’s going to spend money on an Astro-Turf troll squad? Nope.

Here’s the truth... Trump’s online support with young males across the globe is massive. Go to 4chan, Reddit, ect and they basically worship him... European boys in particular see in Trump a leader that they are missing at home: Someone who says it like it is and is willing to take the fight to PC marxist culture and Islam.

Thats’ where the army is coming from. It’s real, but it’s organic, and the man and his campaign has NO control over these kids.

You should contact Doughty One and see if he can break down the voting in here by sign on date.

There are lots of us that support Trump who predate you on this forum.

Oh, I’m sure there are, just as there are mostly long-term conservative freepers who support cruz.

And I’m sure there are more trump supporters who have signed up recently that I haven’t noticed yet.

I’m just making an observation. Make of it whatever you will.

I’ve parried with these types.

That's rich coming from the most prolific Cruzbot campaign worker on FR.

Pretty much what you’re expected to say.

this thread post’s 4-10 right on cue. Probably not all paid trolls but at least a few.

I make of it that it is sour grapes on your part. I predate you as well and am a long time conservative who is sick and tired of the GOPe.

So you just told me I’m not conservative because I don’t support Cruz? How typical.

I suggested a way for you to verify your claims rather than just spouting lies, but once again, typical.

How can you tell the difference between them and the voices in your head?

Haters of any stripe rarely argue from a place of logic.

“...I’m not conservative because I don’t support Cruz? ...”

Bull-Butter!! That characterization was squarely focused on cruz’s supporters. I have no idea what trump supporters base their political philosophy on - they span the full political range. You trump-pets sure do read a lot into things, put words in people’s mouths and exhibit extremely thin-skin.

Re-read what I wrote and apologize for your lying smear, that is *IF* you can pry yourself off your messiah’s leg for a moment and dig *deep*, deep enough to find any intellectual honesty and personal integrity. And quit being as childish as your messiah — that would help too.

But I seriously doubt you can find even a modicum of intellectual honesty and personal integrity, so I await your next childish insult. Go ahead puppet. Dance for me.

Soooo.... that’s probably why you weren’t listed. Where in the list I provided did you see your account name?

Soooo.....???

Soooo.....???

Your claims that the user accounts were potentially Trump plants is as about as sound of science as Global Warming.

Before you attempt to 'out' someone as a fake in a public forum, you should at least have some facts to back you up.

It's actually shameful what you did if you think about it.
