How Many "Sanders Supporters" On the DU Are Just Republican Trolls? [View all]

I can certainly understand passion for a candidate during a primary season, even to the point of being a bit irrational, and I could understand Sanders appeal (before his ego seemed to get the best of him) but a large number of the people here with Sanders as their avatar and oddly stereotypical liberal user names seem to be psychotically irrational. They seem to just stir up shit for no reason, on unrelated threads, throwing out fringe right news stories, and seem beyond illogical. I'm sure some are just 19 year old college students that are hellbent on "revolution" at any cost but how many are just jackass republicans pretending to be Sanders supporters trying to cause trouble?

I'm sure the DU is a major target of unemployible rednecks with nothing better to do during the day, so I do wonder how many of these Sanders supporters are operating under false flag attacks?
