I doubt this is isolated to MAGA.
The left pioneered these methods.

The Dems read the Goerbbels Diary.

Explain the rallies with 10's of 1000's of locals at each location. Not the bussed in paid actors the Dems use as props.

Yes.
This was keenly apparent with the “make Vance cool” meme explosion.
That’s the way stuff is done now. Biden’s gang went hard in the paint on the influencer junk.
It’s gross. Both sides.

To be honest, if Trump saw that Catturd said we want no new wars and cheap gas, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But, yeah, if Benny Johnson is paid to say something -- that's not good. Wiles was keeping bad news from Trump and that's how we got here.

Funny thing, that. You DO know it was the Left who first trotted out 'fat JD Vance' memes, right ? And all the Right (even JD himself) did was embrace it and make it their own.

This isn’t true. I’m sure there are influencers on the take but the MAGA influencers are notoriously all over the place. Because Trump is a fighter you have not only a bunch of national populists who are his sort of natural base (and are the most mad at him because of Iran), but also a ton of people who have problems with modern America that Trump clearly doesn’t care about. At any point ,Trump could be shown any number of tweets about any topic and think it has wide spread support from his base if that’s what is going on. I think the far likelier explanation is just that Trump is susceptible to flattery and gifts and between his ability to regulate monopolies and his unilateral ability to impose and remove tariffs, has been able to wheel and deal with the wealthiest dudes in the country in a way that’s not necessarily consistent with his campaign vows and which has line Eric, Don Jr, Kushner, and his own pockets. But like that was always part of the Trump package, and most thinking MAGAs knew that would happen. Hopefully Miller can rein it in

Yeah this is the other thing about influencers, which is that many of them owe everything they have to Trump which makes them contradict themselves to stay on side, but this has always been a thing. Hannity or Maddow or whomever will always agree with their parties position, even if that position is different from what it was yesterday. They don’t spend any time being convinced. They pivot because that is their job. It kind of sucks more with influencers just because part of the influencer pitch is “I’m just a guy like you, we could be friends”, and they aren’t your friends, and while some of them are sincere, but none of them actually know you, and all of them have an interest in continuing to make money from posting and videos

Hooray, let's wallow in shite that does not matter.
Morons post the shite they do to make this board virtually unreadable for free.

Yes.
I also am aware both sides figured out how to use SM influencers and that a lot of seemingly “grassroots” stuff wasn’t so grassroot-y after all.

If you're talking about Facebook or Tik Tok stuff, I can't address any of that. I have neither. But memes that spread organically, those can't be manufactured anywhere near as well. The Left can't meme isn't just a clever slogan, it's true. They can't grasp anything outside of their bubble. It's like the UK Gov trying to make a character from its own online game - Pathways - be the bad person yet the people turning it around and embracing it as their own. see Amelia.
My point is, this ' both sides ' argument is perpetually wrong. Every single time. There's zero equity in these things.

This left/right puppet show was purchased a long time ago. This "yeah, but THEY" crap is just dancing to the tune of elite money who couldn't give a frick less about this country or its citizens beyond what money they can suck out of them through their federal government and its spending.

I agree with you. Both sides do this stuff, but the right is uniquely successful in actually pulling it off and feeling sincere.
It’s true, the left can’t meme. You’ll get no argument from me.
Their style seems to be centered on group think and fear of exclusion. Hive mind bullshite. Like those commercials where they use 15 actors/entertainers to say one thing. It’s heavy handed, tone deaf and obvious.

They appeal to the stupid.
Say that, saves words.

Basically it's some variation of a struggle session. Pound the message into people and vilify anyone who dares to question it or think outside the box. It's intimidation. Whether implied or direct. They'll even sanction the use of force and call it justified. (Michigan chick who attacked 2 for the crime of not agreeing with her) .
