BUSTED: Trump-loving comment trolls pose as Sanders and Clinton supporters to divide Democrats

[onehandle]

I am SHOCKED. SHOCKED, I say.

An Internet troll who claims to have found deep divisions among factions of the Left on Twitter laid out a plan Saturday for fellow Donald Trump supporters to exploit those fissures.

Posting on the sometimes-dubious message board 4chan, the anonymous poster wrote a post entitled, “Let’s troll Bernie and Hillary supporters systematically,” where the writer says he/she posed as a Democratic voter and trolled supporters of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in an effort to deepen divisions and help Trump secure a victory in November.

“We need to take advantage of this. This is Trump’s gift,” the 4chan troll wrote. “If we’re serious about a Trump presidency we need to start infiltrating their conversations in order to sow more divison (sic). I’m talking systematic and long-term /mischief/, not just a hew minutes trolling dumbass SJW’s. Look at the chaos and damage I was able to make yesterday, just one person, with no real rudeness in my replies. Imagine that writ large: My account is @realJohnMilIer.”

“SJW” stands for “social justice warrior.”

The Twitter account for “real John Miller” indeed seems to show activity celebrating divisions among Clinton and Sanders supporters.

1. Plays some like a fiddle. In Michigan a lot of RW voted for Sanders, bragged about doing

This to try to throw delegates to Sanders. This is another good reason to close the primaries. I have heard friends who are independents say they were doing just that, working hard to get Sanders in the GE.

2. Let me see if I understand: you are taking the word of one online troll about online trolling

by many, many people (or screen names)d.

Is that because the online troll who posts what we'd like to believe must be the honest online troll?

7. Whatever became of our SJW that loved to troll Sanders supporters?

8. They have been here in droves, not too hard to pick some of them out

When they are supposedly "for" a candidate but can never articulate a damn thing except why the other one is bad. Nothing about the policies of their own preferred candidate.
