Problem for them was we had Free Republic, Drudge, Diamond and Silk and our own net this time.
Freepers can sniff out a scam or a lie in a second !
Facebook and Google were totally in the tank for Hillary. Twitter as well.
Along with FR and Drudge, I’d credit Reddit with generating a ton of viral media. Word of mouth, Wikileak examination, MEMES, etc. Reddit was really THE Trump ground zero for this campaign.
Paid CTR shills tried to attack them, but you can’t beat back 250,000 actual rabid fans with b.s.
Reddit consistently broke NEW stories and information.
FR is more posting of existing stories — second wave by then and a day or two behind the curve.
Just my take on it.
If FR has an eartnly buzz, it’s a quiet buzz. Just saying based on the amount of play its mention got in the Wikileaks.
However, spiritually, it may have a louder buzz. “And those who feared the Lord talked together, and God made a memorial.” [Paraphrase of bible]
See actually Facebook and Twitter was used against the democrats.
The MSM missed this. Thousands of us deplorables used these platforms to spread the wikileaks and project veritas stories and also to tell the truth about Trump's positions.
Social Media was a huge part of Trump's victory even though they tried to game the system against Trump and we knew we were winning that war when you would watch the emojis fly across the screen on live Trump and Hillary videos.
The thumbs up and heart emojis would tally up in the tens of thousands for Trump while a few thousand angry emojis is all he would get. And it was exactly the opposite for Hillary. Tens of thousands of Angry emojis would fly across the screen while just a few thousand thumbs up and heart emojis would show.
This happened every time a Live Hillary or Trump event was shown on Facebook. And the numbers of each emoji skewed higher and higher as more wikileaks and project veritas stories were shared on Twitter and Facebook. It was fascinating to witness.
