Lake County residents – NOT astroturfing – do not need to get paid to show love for the nation or the values it was founded on. They are frequently seen with their flags and posters in downtown Polson.

It is safe to say that astroturfing is being employed when paying (?) protesters to tour Montana on a beautiful day. The intention seems to be to cause a division where there should not be one. Signs held in some places were seen saying, for example, “Hate never made America great”. Agreed. “[Follow] the Constitution”. Agreed. This time around, instructions to the protestors must have included to bring US flags and NOT display them upside down (?)
Do these people know why they are there? Some answers: “Trump’s a [expletive].” Reporter: “Why is that?” Answer: “I don’t know… We don’t like him. That’s the word around here.” Wow. How about this one: “No clue at all. Just go with what everyone else is saying.” Another wow. Maybe we should hope that those clips were all staged or AI created… ?
Either way, this statement by a former presidential candidate seems to be another example of what astroturfing can accomplish.
Thankfully, plenty of material for eye-opening and humorous videos and posts were provided by the NGO organized events:

And then we have the President himself showing his sense of humor:
