uspol, twitter, psyops, accidental shenanigans, cw: fleeting reference to celebrity sexual assault, goats
Several months ago, I sarcastically put the tag #GOPvalues on a tweet denouncing Ted Nugent for his incredibly shady sexual history (arguably including statutory)...
...and I think a bunch of trollbots seized exclusively on the hashtag, because it's taking off this week. I've had NINE "people" RT it today, every one of them MAGAdroids, not at all the sort of people you'd expect to have it in for Da Nooodj.
If this is all it takes to hijack the damn things, there is NO EXCUSE for us to be losing the psyops war. I sure intend to do my part.

Actually, now that I think about it... they might not actually be troll _bots_, and that's intriguing.
Ted Nugent is a topic that probably flies right under the cultural radar of most Russians, even those conversant in English.
What if it's humans recirculating that tweet, humans who don't have enough context to understand that I'm attacking a right-winger and the "GOPValues" tag is ironic?
You can probably hear the little raccoon gear whirring right now. What is it the channer kids used to say? "Oh exploitable?" *steeples her clever little paws*
