A Signal chat offers a rare glimpse inside the DeSantis campaign.
e_t_ ( @e_t_@kbin.pithyphrase.net ) 19•11 months agoI think the buried lede is that the official DeSantis campaign is directly coordinating with supposedly independent Twitter accounts. Nothing about the Right is organic, it’s entirely manufactured.
ElleChaise ( @ElleChaise@kbin.social ) 9•11 months agoKind of funny the left is known for grass roots movements, and the right is known for astroturfing… Wait, is that why it’s called astroturfing?
JakenVeina ( @JakenVeina@lemm.ee ) 3•11 months agoAs a play off of the term “grassroots”? Yea.
floofloof ( @floofloof@lemmy.ca ) English2•11 months agoYes, astroturf is fake grass, and astroturfed movements are fake grassroots movements.
akai ( @akai@kbin.social ) 7•11 months agoSo his media campaign is made up of edgelords…?
floofloof ( @floofloof@lemmy.ca ) English9•11 months agoNazi edgelords.

crusa187 ( @crusa187@lemmy.ml ) 4•11 months agoonce again, repugs proving themselves an absolute clown show 🤡
magnetosphere ( @HappyMeatbag@beehaw.org ) 3•11 months agoThe videos include two that have created recurring distractions for his campaign in recent weeks: an anti-Trump video that featured a fascist symbol…
So, basically, the pot was calling the kettle black.
