A very small number of people ('Russian bots', 'Macedonians', etc.) doing a similar kind of 'larp' are believed by many millions to have effectively put Trump in the White House. It will become exceedingly easier for ever smaller, more dedicated groups of people to affect ever larger groups of people.

This is a meme spread by the mainstream media, it has nothing to do with the topic of our conversation. With a monopoly on the flow of information, you can make anyone believe anything.

Non-Leftists already pretend that they are something that they oppose every day.

There is a difference between staying silent because you don't want to bother and literally larping as a woke progressive. Go attend a meeting organised by your local DSA chapter and tell me if you still feel any enthusiasm about this idea.
