And they are smart! They learn really fast

The thing about using memes and inflammatory rhetoric to shape online discussion is that anyone can do it. Shitposting is not that hard if you are willing to log the hours. I have been posting off and one all night about the mom waiting for medical attention who died as a result of Trump's Muslim ban and the nursing baby who was separated from her mother for 10 hours. In ALL CAPS! With emojis 😢 I have one about Trump's mom being an illegal immigrant cued for tomorrow. The illegal part is #alternativefacts, but live by the meme, die by the meme, right? They started the game, so now we play.
