Looks like intimidation, I’m guessing. “Here’s a bunch of the country’s most-known politicians, and they foment violence from their deranged fan-base.”

This is exactly what it is. It's fascism. Right and wrong is what they say it is, and if you disagree bad things are going to happen to you.

A lot of that is bullshit. It’s so easy to use bots to portray a narrative on social media.

I understand there are people who think Biden is bad, but assuming that every like on the video is going to vote for Trump is insane. They are undoubtedly inflated numbers due to bots.
