Did anybody else see the latest astroturfing campaign?

Almost every small-town subreddit is getting spammed by low-karma accounts pushing some protest against Trump— it’s something about 5051 or some shit. I have no idea what they think they’re accomplishing, but it reeks of bot activity. It’s the same copy-paste garbage in every town, and honestly, it’s laughable how obvious it is.

I’ve lived in a lot of places and moved all over the country, so I follow a bunch of small-town subreddits. Every now and then, I check in to see what’s changed since I left. And lately? No matter how tiny, remote, or unheard-of the town is, one of these posts is there—like clockwork. It’s not even a stretch to say it feels manufactured.

It makes me wonder—who’s behind this? What’s the point? Because if it’s meant to be some grassroots movement, it’s failing miserably.
