So I was looking at random people's facebook's to find stuff to get enraged about (I like pain) and I came across a link to a "story" proving that anti-Trump protestors are being paid. The ad had a link to a website for some "company" called Demand Protest https://www.demandprotest.com/ If you read the content you will quickly see it's a jab at democrats. The whois shows it was registered last month, is hiding behind cloudflare and private domain registration. Obvious BS to anyone who looks at it objectively. Yet this stuff is being spread around and being are buying it with no questions asked. I attached some screenshot so you don't have to visit the actual sites (particularly the "news" site, as they shouldn't be rewarded with traffic) I also posted the links if you must see it for yourself. I don't even know how to deal with this sort stuff because explaining it just falls on deaf ears. I'm almost tempted to play their own game against them, but that's probably not the best route to go. I dunno, but this stuff is really frustrating me these days.

Propaganda to persuade public opinions and actions.

I don't have a clue how to do it but somebody must.
They have fake phone number that can be searched on google. You could also search for that and you'll see some websites that allow people to leave comments about such phone numbers.

(3,737 posts)intelligent people buy into it (along with lots of not-so-smart folks). It just makes me so angry.

(3,675 posts)about him. He never responded further. I didn't even bother to watch the video though i probably should have just to see what was on it.
