Screenshot of an article discussing online reactions to criticism of Ms. Sweeney and an American Eagle ad. It states that nearly three-quarters of critical posts had fewer than 500 views, but pro-Trump users amplified them through reposts and reshares. On July 27, large right-wing accounts like Libs of TikTok began reposting critiques, mocking them as examples of "triggered" liberals. The account, run by Chaya Raichik with 4.3 million followers on X, posted, “Keep this up Democrats. This is going to be great for you guys.”

It's taken the New York Times a decade to finally realize how the far right works. They amplify a handful of random posts by nobodies as a characterization of the entire left and then get outraged by it. That in turn drives media coverage and takes over the media cycle for weeks.
