https://voat.co/user/tiggergurlies posting shit straight out of shareblue's "all right-wing opinions are shills" playbook while getting dozens of upvoats within minutes of posting.
The comment that tipped me into checking his comment history.

There is no way that 30 people on the voat I know would upvoat a post that boils down to "reeeeeeee evil rightwingers reeeeeeeee".
Shill? brigade? or am i just off my rocker :?

Well I agree with that.
OP's post was kinda shit (mostly because it would have fit better in /v/politics), I just wanted to point out the "criticism" seemed suspiciously like it was being upvoat brigaded.

Criticizing a flawed argument doesn't mean you "can't handle opposition".
But my personal beliefs are irrelevant here, the main point is that there appears to be a coordinated effort on the part of non-voat users to suppress conservative viewpoints on voat through vote manipulation and brigading.
Now this isn't to say that OP's post was particularly good or anything, there's lots of potentially valid criticism, but the shills didn't present any of it instead falling back on upvoating their canned responses with alts.

Calling the truth "elements of truth" is wrong.
not to mention that the rest of comment is the farthest thing from relevant, it's straight up "REEEEE facts I don't like are propaganda" garbage.

An even better example from the same thread https://voat.co/v/funny/1861250/9114850, /u/tiggergurlies accidentally responds while logged into one of his 17+ alts /u/RonaldTheDuck.
