Protecting a too small base. When on offense, the actual size was inconsequential because it was perceived as larger by the other side and most of the fence-sitters. Astroturf is sometimes made to look authentic. It is not grown, it is manufactured.
Since the Lights-On offensive, the fragile nature of meager numbers appearing much bigger cannot sustain successful deception. This is so even though the primary means of 'news' distribution is owned (directly or indirectly) and operated by the side benefiting from distributed misinformation.
Much easier to observe when the top is in the form of a nation-state. This is different. Seeking ways to understand and describe how so. That is our intention here. Public perception control is more difficult when the masses have an alternative to cowering from threats
