Bot Weirdness on Twitter

Take a look at the thread for this tweet:

Link to tweet

Is it just me, or are the same exact comments being posted by dozens of separate accounts? Both pro and anti Trump.

Twitter bug or are the bots on the fritz?!?

Like this one:
"That’s it. That seals the deal. I’ve been an American citizen for 54 years and in all my time of being one i’ve never seen an election this bad. I’ve had enough of it, until you fix this country .I’ll be packing my bags to Canada where they actually know how to run a country."

or this:
"I love seeing Trump supporters CRY, it's my daily medicine, my weekly energy, my monthly inspiration and my yearly motivation. Their loss is the only reason i'm still alive, i was born to love and enjoy the failure that they have achieved"


Very strange!

In America.

5. That first one originally said they were packing and moving to Alaska.

No kidding. It really did.

7. Are there even any real people on there? So many versions of the same thing.

"IM LEAVING AMERICA! SCREW THIS COUNTRY! I’m moving to Mexico where they actually run a civilised and balanced nation for its people. I shall be leaving the USA shortly with my wife in disgust at this situation ."

"I’ve been a U.S citizen for 50 years and in all my time of being one I have never seen an election this rigged. I’ve had enough of, Donald J Trump has been ROBBED. I’ll be packing my bags to Russia where they actually know how to run a country. My kids are scared of Biden!!! BYE"

and on and on
