'Liberal troll' in the US targets right-wing Americans with made-up stories
Christopher Blair, a self-described"liberal troll" and political activist knows what to write for his right-wing"target audience" through years of"being embedded in their world."
Blair, 48, runs eight websites and five Facebook pages from his home in the northeastern US state of Maine. Blair – a self-described "liberal troll" and political – says he knows what to write for his right-wing "target audience" through years of "being embedded in their world.""They live on... fear and hate and misinformation and very specific storylines that everybody knows aren't true except for them," he told AFP.If someone clicks through to Blair's articles, instead of instantly sharing them based on a headline, the warnings are visible.
"The people who share our content don't care about the truth. They share 500 things a day, most of which are hate-filled lies. When they share something of ours, there's a chance at accountability," he says. Of Blair's tactics, Brookie says: "It is a pretty big assumption and risk when much of the audience shares based on headlines and even a highly engaged minority of his audience starts to believe him."Blair started "America's Last Line of Defense" – which now has two regular contributors in addition to him – in 2016. He was a political blogger at the time, after previously working in home remodeling.
