Yeah sure fuck Mike Lee, but rage bait posted from an account literally minutes old? 5 minutes after account creation, posts this one image? Uh sure.

None

    That’s been happening a lot lately. Accounts pop up, make a few posts that are likely to stir people up, and then drop off the face of the planet

    I think it's bot accounts.

    Likely seeding their scores. This post will prob be deleted within ~1 week and the comment/vote scores will still be there so the account looks more organic at a quick glance.

    Give it 1-6 months and the same thing will happen again with this exact account. Maybe even spun the other way politically. If it doesn't do as well as predicted it'll be closed or abandoned.

    It happened on R*ddit all the time and it will happen here

    Or they're collecting data on people who agree/disagree in the comments.

    I don't see how this is Rage bait. It's just the actual statement of a sitting US senator. Bait would imply you're being led to be outraged, even more it would imply it's unwarranted outrage. This is completely warranted.
