Could it be the opposite? Could the Russians purposely have left the geo tag on so that people think they "figured out" that it's a Russian propaganda account even though they WANTED to make you think they were oblivious that they left it on?

Then those who read the pro-conservative tweets will think those ideas are pro-Russian propaganda and thus make Americans disregard those conservative thoughts and push them in the opposite direction.

Sure. That's why you have to dig for as much information as possible and try to get an accurate picture.

No secret I subscribe to US/UK/European Intelligence Community interpretation of what's happening.

IMO, this is a good way of looking at it:

Russian Propaganda Targets All Americans

While Russian influence operations resemble a marketing effort in some ways, only a few dozen individual outlets ("sources") actually produce large amounts of original propaganda content. That content is then echoed, extended, and amplified through an immense number of secondary sites ("repeaters"). Both source and repeater outlets target a wide range of audiences: US military veterans, Wall St. insiders and finance specialists, natural-food and health enthusiasts, goldbugs, African-Americans, white Americans, peace activists, religious people, 9/11-"truthers", and politically-active Americans across and outside the political spectrum.
