Yes, because facebook and twitter and a million other social networks exist to spread these things to 10s of millions.
I’ve seen AT LEAST 15 trends about wikileaks and the podesta antics on Twitter and in some cases, 100k had hit the site.
They tell people they know.
The 3 or 4 million who hit oKeefe’s site will tell a number of people who dont know, like I did.
I’ve told about 6 people. They will tell people.
You start to run into many 10s of millions who hear about it.
Kevin Bacon effect. Trump is using it masterfully.
There is something to what you say, and I believe it is one of the main reasons this race is competitive. The media, including even the local newspapers in my (relatively conservative) area, are all totally in the tank for the Establishment / Clinton. So, obviously, other sources are helping get information out.
However, I find that even many Trump supporters have not yet: read his position papers or speeches (the recent speeches are really good), looked at the Trump Foundation tax returns (or even summaries) vs. the Clinton Foundation’s, actually read the Dems’ corruption soaked e-mails, and so on.
Part of this is simply a lack of time, on the part of the average voter, to dig in to this stuff. Many are scrambling with 2 or more jobs, just to keep their heads above water. Part of it is poor presentation and promotion by most Pub candidates and organizations, whose communication to voters is generally as enticing as a bag of gravel. (When was the last time you saw a Pub political ad that was half as creative or “catchy”, for lack of a better word, as an average Geico commercial?) Trump’s own campaign website is competent, but, well, dull. And why does not every pro-Trump / pro-Pub website not have direct links on their home page or YouTube vids to the most damning of the Wikileaks (etc.) material? This freaking stuff is not THAT hard for any significant organization to do.
Indeed, many of the best efforts turn out to be by individuals, but then on Twitter at least, they may run into actual censorship. I here give you / FReepers a shout out to FReeper nerdgirl, who has given everyone not only a great little app for researching the top Wikileaks e-mails, but also insight into Twitter’s attempts to snuff out her free speech. (I will grant you Twitter has the “right” to regulate their content, but the fact that they would censor someone in this manner is some of the best evidence yet that the Donald is indeed on target about the system being rigged. In this case the censorship is likely much in line with the so-called “Limbaugh Theorem” - which applies to much of what is going on.)
Anyway, the shout-out: For anyone who has not yet done so, check out this thread, and the (pretty cool and useful) app. Send it to everyone you can! I wish Trump / the campaign would latch onto this —
