I know it's probably not "Russian bots", but...

Two of the comments post the same CDC 2017 list, and both come from twitter accounts with 0 posts (one is 100% retweets of anti-"liberal" content). I'm never sure how plausible it is for someone to have the time to sit on twitter all day just to RT these things and then jump onto rando blogs to leave long comments like these.



Judging by my facebook, these people are probably real. There aren't a lot of them but in the last month they've been getting more vocal.


It’s likely they get these words and phrases from a popular tv network, radio program or podcast. The fact they can’t spell them makes it less likely they read them from a popular columnist or blogger.


Edit


I think the OP is referring to the commenters on Mark Cuban's blog (and not the ones on HN)
