Imagine you're suffering from a mental disease and identify with left wing policy. You actually believe that a majority of Americans want communism and to watch their children grow up worshipping dildos and faggotry.
Then one day all the astroturfing stops. You suddenly realize that an extremely small percentage of the world agrees with your mentally disturbed views of the world. You are forced into the realization that every major "news" outlet is a syndicate of the mental disease that encapsulates your mind. All those "Evil right wing hitlerites" are actually the majority, but have been silenced by the purveyors of your fake, sick universe.
Imagine, The Great Awakening!
