It sounds like they were pretty specific in how they identified the bot accounts.
Like I could say "tens of millions" of Democrats would still support Biden even if deem mental unfit for office, against Trump
* At leat 30% of the voters, on both sides, of 2020 will not be moved by any new fact
* In recent polls half Republican party still supports Trump. The Trump saga is so beaten up at this point, you would really have to believe Trump to keep it going
* This new indictments help Trump, by giving media coverage. And because distrust between authority/justice and Republicans
* This post analysis PDF also shows that the most liked, and retweeted, tweets are from verified accounts that support Trump views
So between 30% and 50% of 74 million people seems to support Trump's views
But to complete my original point, the bots identified look like budget "news channels", that also parrot those same views. That rightfully, or not, get labeled as "conspiracy theory" and "fake news"
