You're mistaken if you think there were not opposition ads against the opposition. Even just looking at the mainstream traditional ads by Hillary, they were very dark ads. Just the other day she was still chiding women for not voting for her, as if she was owed their vote. Who has that much entitlement?
In your example Satan is accused of owning the pope and all other miscreants.
Inject 100k on a fake news items like "The pope is a paedofile" for instance and see the whole world talking and reposting it the next day.
Spend a billion promoting something real but boring and you might see almost non-existent tracktion.
By definition disinformation and destabilization campaigns are 1000x more effective, especially if organized by entities specializing on those for decades.
