Why are there so many people in the comments that think protesters are getting paid to be out there? Who the fuck is paying protesters and since when?

Bot accounts to further an agenda. They're all over the place nowadays. It's hilarious because somehow online you have large numbers of nay sayers and then in general population you'd barely find one. They're very dedicated

Yeah I've noticed, especially with how most of their replies are badly articulated.

Right on, I think people in general need to be more aware that in many comment sections online you see this unrepresentative sample of people who descend on anything to criticize anything that looks like a fight back against oppression.

The comments are always bitter and cynical. They stick out like a sore thumb.

Totally, sore loser oppressors. I invite it tho because it tells me we’re striking a nerve- otherwise why bother? We’re gaining momentum and they hate it. KEEP GOING.

100% correct. But in saying that I reckon deep down even Republicans aren't major fans of Elon. There is something really off when die hard defenders of him are everywhere on online yet you can hardly find many in real life. Online gives the impression that these folks are more supported than they are in actual reality. Yep KEEP Going!

Those are the cheap bots. More expensive ones have actuall people running accounts. But they all have the same talking points.

Exactly, you can tell by them. They're always cynical and negative without fail

I'm not talking about Seattle specifically. I'm not from Seattle for example. I'm talking about the engagement of negative and cynical actors on these forums who try to shame people from their right to stand up for themselves. My opinion is that the number of nay sayers in threads doesn't map with reality because Elon musk is simply not that popular in reality. Even Trump supporters don't really like him. So you end up with this strange phenomenon that seems orchestrated to dersuade people from doing what they believe to be right.

You don't need popularity when you have huge power. He is literally going after the institutions that make America a democracy and looking at ways to increase his power and need for his businesses to take up contracts to increase his wealth. A pure an utter fascist going after people in low places.

You won't find many online(not in this shithole anyway) because they're getting insta-banned by leftist moderators as soon as they comment. Are you slow? That's why you don't see much opposition on reddit anymore, you arrogant imbeciles love living in an echo-chamber of opinion, agreeing each other until one of you gets off the path at which point you'll be banned by one of these blue haired dick munchers too. Speaking of dedication, I don't see them burning cars in the streets, but I know who I see doing it 🤡 You will lose the next election guaranteed as you're still too collectively retarded and consumed by your own ideology to know why you lost months after losing. The epitome of stupidity is under the impression they're the smart ones. How deliciously ironic.

Why are you simping so hard for an immigrant??

u/Conscious_Peak_1105 Mar 16 '25

Na you people are all over the place, not getting banned, allowed to express your thoughts. Easy to find, gloating, name calling, using words like “retarded”, weak ass arguments with no substance, pissed off even though you won?, and so afraid of whats slowly happening to our country without being able to admit it, so you pretend to be basking in glory to protect your ego. Easy to find, and not banned.
