title:  Trump Trolls Caught In The Act Of Spewing IDENTICAL Propaganda Over And Over Again
text: If you ve recently gotten into an online political debate, it s likely that you ve encountered some people claiming to be former Democrats who are now supporting Trump. Many Democrats dismiss these people as trolls, and as it turns out, they are probably right. There is a giant epidemic of people (mostly two users) spouting the exact same verbiage throughout social media.Does this sound familiar?I come from a family of Democrats and switched to Republican to over for Mr. Trump! My 80 year old father who s been a life time (sic) Democrat is voting for Donald Trump!Here it is, twice, from two different users:I suppose that could be a coincidence, in a parallel universe, but a quick Google search shows that it s not.

The disinformation campaigns are only one  active measure  tool used by Russian intelligence to  sow discord among,  and within, allies perceived hostile to Russia.Source: Business InsiderIt s not just Russians, though. Trump has paid people to cheer for him. Trump has also been his own cheerleader, by posing as his PR people in the past.
