but when the majority of those americans don't follow or care about politics or news, well placed comments and news stories can have an outsized effect. also, sadly, its hard (and unprofitable) not to look at idiots yelling.

Simple math here... There are at least 200M Americans online. How many trolls do they have? Say that they pay salary for 10k Russians who can speak English at a native level and fit in online. That is a drop in the bucket compared to the native population. If you ignore those yelling from the extremes this is a total non issue.
