I wonder what the French equivalent of the "Clinton Body Count" con job
is? _Lots_ of gullible folks there, too.
Meanwhile, I also love this detail about whack-doodle du jour Sean Spicer:

And did anyone notice Kellyanne Conway suffering the fate of women who
have pissed off all their gay friends?

From Metafilter:
Inside the Private Chat Rooms Trump Supporters Are Using to Manipulate
French Voters
: Buzzfeed reports on a Discord channel called "The Great Liberation of
France," the associated /r/the_Europe/ subreddit, as well as on 4chan and
8chan, and the tactics underway to move public opinion in advance of the
upcoming French elections
.
The tactics involved include comprehensive shit-posting how-to's, graphics
repositories for meme assembly ("meme shells"), instructions on
manufacturing fake social media accounts to stoke antisemitic, misogynist
and nativist resentment and warnings against common missteps.
*The chatroom’s admins have instructed users to make fake Facebook accounts
that are “ideally young, cute girl, gay, Jew, basically anyone who isn’t
supposed to be pro-[FN].” Users are then instructed to lock down these
dummy accounts so no one can tell they’re fake. Once they have their fake
Facebook profiles, they’re told to infiltrate the comment sections of large
French Facebook pages and post pro-FN memes and jokes about François
Fillon, France’s current frontrunner for the presidency. And they’re doing
something similar on Twitter, creating dozens of French-appearing sock
puppet accounts. They then collect all of them on lists and organize
campaigns to make things trend in French.The doc includes instructions for
how users can help teach fellow right-wing trolls how to make memes that
would be believable in their country. “You have to provide reconnaissance
for us. WE DON’T KNOW SHIT about your internet segment,” one section reads.*
