Crazy Uncle Liberty's Many Imaginary Friends


Crazy Uncle Liberty is strong-like-bull in his belief that he has many, many  friends on social media who are all gun-worshiping, Christian!!Patriots!! who love Murrica and Donald Trump just like him.

And he believes that they will definitely be right behind him when he tears off his mask and pants and streaks the quad!  For Freedumb!

But they won't be.
Roughly half the Twitter accounts pushing to 'reopen America' are bots, researchers found

...
As parts of the US have lifted shutdown orders during the COVID-19 pandemic, there's been a fierce argument online about the risks and benefits of reopening. New research suggests that bots have been dominating that debate.

Carnegie Mellon University researchers analyzed over 200 million tweets discussing COVID-19 and related issues since January and found that roughly half the accounts — including 62% of the 1,000 most influential retweeters — appeared to be bots, they said in a report published this week...
See, bots don't go streaking

Bots also don't need masks or social distancing.

Because, unlike Crazy Uncle Liberty, bots can't die of stupid.


No Half Measures
