I’ll stop poking the bear on this I promise. But this is the perfect illustration of what I was trying to say. Now just imagine if some slick well-funded astroturfing org worked hard to plant this idea in extreme righty or lefty corners of the web - depending on which side they want to win. The astroturfers would probably need to have the seed of the idea already there - which it certainly is. But they could certainly amplify it.
Yes I’m paranoid.
