The accusation wasn't that all Trump supporters are bots. But there are bots. Russia has been proven to be meddling in elections around the world, and we should be concerned. Russia has also figured out just little effort it takes to get Americans to turn on one another through social media.
But this is talking about Twitter specifically, no..? Because if so, bots are rampart there for both sides, since since way before even the whole Russia thing.
Even this very same meme already made who knows who deploy propaganda bots about "dehumanization" and whatnot. Likewise, those were rampart during Net Neutrality's voting process as well, spreading misinformation to sway people against it.
This is honestly rather scary, if you ask me. Twitter is a literal propaganda machine that anyone can easily manipulate for their own shady agenda and they have done nothing about it for years, and funnily enough, said agenda is not always political.
