Literotica's Russian Trolls?

[sr71plt]

Now that Facebook has admitted extensive use of it by the Russians to troll on the U.S. elections and the Russians themselves are starting to crow about influencing the elections (http://www.newsweek.com/russia-stole-us-presidency-claims-russian-politician-live-tv-663441), including through trolling of social media, how likely is it that discussion boards like Literotica's were extensively trolled? We had an awful lot of likely trolls posting to the board over the last year, often to extremist extents. A lot of carrying of water for what the Russians obviously wanted to plant. I'd suspect any account name that wasn't also a demonstrated author or reader on Literotica, seeing as how this is a writing site, as being a political mouthpiece for Trump or the Russians.

Are they the ones that nestle inside each other? Such a practical storage idea. Kinda sexual too

No. They are the kind that chew ice . . . and princesses.

Where do I get one of these fantastic trolls?

Because the Lit GB is SO influential in the decision of the voting public ...

I wonder that anyone bothers to troll the DB and PB political threads which together have maybe 25 writers and twice as many readers.

Why bother? Financial gain by professionals is unlikely -- trollposts are pretty amateur. Impact is nil. Rationality is nil. Thus the trollsters must be nutz. Get out the elephant trancs and butterfly nets.

I'd be surprised if any were here directly but you can see the Russian influence in all the Trumptards who post, especially the more we learn about what exactly was in all that Russian propaganda and fake news.

Because of the high proportion of crazies who gather here--and go on to post in a lot of other places too. Synergy. The way of the net and blanket coverage works wonders.
