Most of the accounts posting the kind of stuff you're referring to and initiating the spread on the Internet are definitely trolls. Basically, what happens is: - Legitimate criticism of the Trump administration/fake news sites whatever is created - Within a day or something, someone creates a meme or statement to counter it, often by repeating the same thing backwards or saying Clinton/Obama/legitimate news service did the same thing - An army of fake profiles fills every major news comment section talking about said legitimate criticism with the meme/copy paste statement, destroying the discussion and shifting the focus - Someone shares the meme/statement in itself as their own FB/twitter post. Your aunt sees it via her right wing friends, believes it, and shares it herself This is a planned action, and part of the reason it's getting to be impossible to factually inform someone of anything - the spread of any facts that paint the right person/thing in the negative are immediately countered in a large spread in high numbers.
