What's the end game of shilling for hobby lobby? Flagging negative news of various governments I get like 共匪, huge corporations do it far less, but hobby lobby seems like such a weird company to engage in astroturfing. They played a minor role in past administrations but they seem like even smaller potatoes lately.

They are a prominent member of the Red tribe of American politics. I don't think you're seeing astroturfing so much as you're seeing tribalism.

I like hobby lobby because it’s one of the few places I can get good craft supplies for my kids, I suppose that’s why I “shilled” for them here (your words).

Besides, I think the negative sentiment towards them is obviously politically driven, and not some genuine concern for artifact provenance and ownership.
