RandomGuy had admitted to being one of these people. I have a buddy, always active on social media, always a conservative Republican shill, who recently became both out of work AND a die hard Hillary supporter. Constantly posting anti-Trump stuff. Sent him a message yesterday, and, sure enough, on the DNC payroll.

I'm convinced that the combined "partisan troll" market represents about 70% of Twitter accounts.

Welcome to the internet. Trump won 40% or so of the Republican primary vote, but on the Drudge / Breitbart / Fox online polls he would score as high as 70%. His 4chan and reddit army were doing it for free though.

If these are trolls then they are really shitty trolls who don't actually troll people, announce their presence openly, and give away methods to track them easily. Compare and contrast with the Russians and 4chan types or even our local dimwits.
