Honestly, I don't even think it goes that far and looking any deeper is probably giving them way too much credit. Their only goal is to make their opponents look bad and/or fan the flames of a conspiracy theory their base is rabid about (not that those two things are mutually exclusive, mind you).
Either way, it's manufactured outrage: nothing more, nothing less. They have no policies (or principles, shame, or integrity for that matter, but I digress) so they engage in this pointless garbage to keep their base afraid and angry.
Some of them are just plain stupid, yes, but the rest know exactly what they're doing.
But that's $600K in Freedom Dollars™, so after conversion, it's like 200 billion, trillion dollars /s.
