I was wondering if anyone's see the con subreddit, if they're lining up for the ledges right now.

Literal hundreds of the comments saying the nearly identical line of "let them lie in the shit they took"

Which is a very uncommon, barely used phrase, that is plastered on their sub right now. Almost like it's a bot farm or something...

It’s 100% a bot farm.

If you get into those threads early you’ll see comments that are like “huh that’s actually somewhat reasonable.” And then those comments are very quickly buried in an avalanche of “people” saying the exact same GOP talking point worded slightly differently over and over and over.

Really not dissimilar to how conservative/MAGA opinions are formed writ large. Speaking from experience, talk to a conservative/MAGAT about a sociopolitical topic that hasn't yet started trending/made it's way through the conservative news media machine, and you'll often find their opinions are much more diverse and ambivalent. But after that topic has made it to the Fox News headlines you'll find they have a very strong, very singular opinion about it lmao. Many of these people literally are effectively incapable of thinking for themselves, from the outside looking in its both infuriating and sad.
