Is this controlled opposition?
If you are anti-immigration, then you're for rape. - Is that the message that they're trying to send?
Why else would they say Fuck you #MeToo, unless they're controlled opposition?

Ok, that's fine. But why put it with an anti-immigration post, why combine the two? Unless it's to make it seem like people who are anti-immigration are also against the #MeToo tag.
They're two separate issues (yes I know it's a post for Roy Moore, and there's all the accusations with that - so they do fit together) But to me it stinks of controlled opposition. That the two shouldn't have been combined in the same post unless they're trying to pull the leftist tactic of - Everyone who isn't a leftist is evil in every way imaginable.

I get that. But why combine it with the rest of the post? (Yes I know it's a Roy Moore post, and all the stuff that goes with that)
But it seems too forced. To me this is the same as a leftist saying that everyone who is anti-immigration is racist, they kick puppies, they hate women. So if you don't want people to think you kick puppies or hate women, then you have to be pro-immigration. (You know this leftist tactic, you've seen it a hundred times.) But instead of saying YOU ARE, it says I AM.
To me it seems like controlled opposition.
