-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I remember reading that the supposed election tampering of Russia was mostly just pot stirring, basically just elevating contradictory and emflamatory narratives on both sides using trolls and bots.
Yea the "Russian interference" would be taken a lot less seriously if people were honest and called it what it was.
Posting stupid racist Facebook memes was enough to convince enough Americans to make a difference to vote for Trump.
To this day liberals insist every racist dumbass is a Russian troll instead of accepting the fact 40% of the country are violent fascists.
Being optimistic:
That's the maximum size of the population that could be considered violent fascists, so even if they all are invested enough to actually do something violent (they won't be), that's still "just" 20% of the voting-eligible population.
The real strength of fascists comes if they can capture the state and use its legitimacy to get their more passive supporters (and libs) to go along with state violence, or at least not violently oppose it.
The U.S. has long applied this towards the outside world (imperialism), but the frontier is getting closer and closer to home.
Maximum suffering against the apolitical. How dare they be predisposed to fascism by not thing about politics.
The other 50% are impotent fascists
I read that most of the election interference was actually done by Israeli agents lol. There was a piece about it last year or the year before and it detailed Trump’s advisors having secret meetings with Israelis and coming out with new dirt on Hillary.
