corpo translation: left leaning folks in the US are generally more educated currently and are more likely to critically question whether a social media account is a corporate bot and question our bots when they shill products, so we're going to target the less educated population by appealing to their populist politics of rage bait and xenophobia.

yea, i family member that did this, starting earning more 100k+ propaganda from joe-roagan because made him a trump fan, caught him several times listening to Trumps rambling as background noise. gymbros also tend to lean conservatives too. people like right wing grifters during the pandemic helped, these people used these right wingers a coping mechanism.

My best guess, college educated people tend to make more money and therefore leaned toward the more business friendly Republicans.
