OP, I think the same CTR are poisoning the right wing well, with "over zealous staffers" mouthing off about hot button issues in ways that make their cause look bad.

And I'm sure there's an equivalent to CTR for the right wing. Not for Trump, and probably not as well organized. But I wouldn't be surprised if something like the climate change denial network has its own version of CTR.

Oh, sure! I don't believe that political affiliation guarantees any morality. I think most of the right wing astroturfing gets done by the military. Some nation states have vested interest and capabilities. What worries me is that I don't really believe all of the morons proud to engage in race baiting are legit. Some are trolls, sure, but I think some are ... well, other people's stooges repurposing their tools for a personal agenda. Voat is convincing me of that.
