Yeah, now I remember reading that here.

Seems kinda hard to imagine them being such a Juggernaut, but...

I wonder if some were just bot accounts to drive up hits. I know there is an effective org going after advertisers on Breitfart but like the Murdorks with Fox, the Mercer-naries will just subsidize them to spread the that CT, RW garbage as far as possible.

We've got a lot of big money up against us and the truth. The whole RW machine does a good job of getting a bunch of people to vote against their best interests and it's hard getting them to see the light. Main thing is: many don't WANT to believe in reality - it's too complex. They want simplicity and an evil bad guy to blame for their own fear and misery - which would be US.
