‘Of course!’ GPS allegedly shows Dems shuffling around same crowd to different events, claiming ‘grassroots’

Allegations of astroturfing are making the rounds on X, prompting people to question whether a rally was as “grassroots” as some had claimed.

Mario Nawfal is claiming that GPS data shows a “massive” Denver rally put together by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wasn’t as big as some had claimed. He further alleged that a large portion of those in attendance had also been at other pro-Democrat gatherings.

In his post on X, he laid out the information:

GPS DATA EXPOSES ASTROTURFING AT DENVER BERNIE-AOC RALLY

That massive Bernie Sanders and AOC rally in Denver? Turns out it wasn’t as “grassroots” as advertised.

Despite claims of 34,000 attendees, GPS data analysis reveals the real number was closer to 20,000—still big,… https://t.co/Mw3WLhxfWk pic.twitter.com/V4dXwqumNT

“That massive Bernie Sanders and AOC rally in Denver? Turns out it wasn’t as “grassroots” as advertised. Despite claims of 34,000 attendees, GPS data analysis reveals the real number was closer to 20,000—still big, but not record-breaking. More revealing? A whopping 84% of those devices had shown up at nine or more other protests, including Antifa/BLM events, pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian demonstrations, and Kamala Harris campaign stops,” he wrote. “Over 30% had attended twenty or more. Data analysts say the crowd was anything but organic—the majority were tied to activist networks like Disruption Project, Indivisible, Democratic Socialists of America, Rise & Resist, and Troublemakers—all reportedly funded by ActBlue and some receiving backing via USAID. Optics over authenticity. The playbook hasn’t changed—just the targets.”

Data analyst Tony Seruga had more information on the alleged astroturfing of the event.

GPS—Here we go again, there were 20,189 devices. Still a large crowd but not even close to the 30,000 quoted in Denver newspapers nor the 34,000 quoted by Bernie Sanders and AOC.

84% of the devices present had attended 9 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas,… https://t.co/zQuvc0ATx5

“Here we go again, there were 20,189 devices. Still a large crowd but not even close to the 30,000 quoted in Denver newspapers nor the 34,000 quoted by Bernie Sanders and AOC. 84% of the devices present had attended 9 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests, 31% had attended over 20,” he wrote in an X post.

“For more insight into what data we also look at in addition to GPS location data would be demographic and psychographic data using over 6,000 different databases, i.e., like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Pew Research Center, market research firms like YouGov, Experian, specialized tools like ESRI’s Tapestry Segmentation, consumer surveys, social media platforms like Facebook, Linkedin. Demographic data includes basic characteristics like age, gender, income, education level, occupation, marital status, family size, ethnicity, and where people live (e.g., city, state). Psychographic data dives deeper into people’s lifestyles, values, attitudes, interests, personality traits, social class, activities, and how they make purchasing decisions. For example, it might show if someone values sustainability, enjoys outdoor activities, participates in community activism,” the post continued.

Seruga offered further analysis and potential answers:

While demographic data is straightforward, psychographic data can reveal sensitive personal details, like beliefs even life goals.

Additionally, by cross pollinating each device with other devices regularly within close proximity to the target device we are able to build a detailed profile for each target.

90% of those in the above 84% were likely working with one of these five groups and is the reason for their presence.

Once again, this is based a very sophisticated algorithm that looks at the behavioral metrics for each device, including the physical 1:1 proximity to leaders and paymasters from these groups in the past.

Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project, Troublemakers and the Democratic Socialists of America.

Each receives money from ActBlue and at least three, via USAID.

Disruption Project: Legal status is unclear, likely operating illegally.
Rise & Resist: 501c4 non-profit
Indivisible Project: 501c4 non-profit
Troublemakers: Legal status is for profit.
Democratic Socialists of America: 501c4 non-profit

X users weren’t the least bit surprised:

The Dems just move around the same group of paid “protesters” https://t.co/WjqovtSy7v

Of course! I’m not surprised. These protests are all manufactured.

It’s almost like that’s how they’re making a living.

Or something.

Never organic or real. If they don’t pay people, they don’t show up.

Democrats spent a lot of tax money on getting protesters to be on their side
