It truly is fascinating. But I think I'm starting to realize that the Russians thing is just an extension of something the Liberals have been doing for my entire adult life.
Every time they have lost in a big election we have heard the exact same thing. Hell they've even written entire books on the subject. And that subject is how the voters were duped into being so stupid as to not vote for Democrats
Of course if you're going to say the voters have been duped you need a villain. That villain 20 years ago give or take was Rush Limbaugh and then later on just conservative talk radio in general
Then it was Fox News. Fox News do to you all into being so dumb as to not vote for Democrats
But like all forms of whining they lose their effectiveness over time. So now we go to Russians
And this one's a much better tool because Russians have been a bogeyman for a long time. Then there's the added benefit of the fact that very few Americans know Russians
Social media generally fricked up the whole Fox News and Rush Limbaugh whining because Americans realize their neighbors and Friends were included in that group

Am I wrong? Isn't there a poster on here who masquerades as a BLM activist?
It just strikes me as funny that he does the EXACT thing Russian trolls do.

Frankly. I find it hard to imagine fake BLM could figure out how to be worse than real BLM.

Twitter bots, disguised as Americans, attack FISA memo and Trump; promote warhawk McCain.
Example of Twitter botnet pushing anti-Trump, pro-McCain stories today.

No, but the last article you linked is telling of why Putin would have wanted Trump elected.

It isn't just Twitter. It's all social media. The ID'd twitters are the tip of the iceberg. Also, we know that the Russians accessed the voter databases in 21 states. Will they be able to do more in 2018? Probably.
Will they erase voter registration records for people who they feel won't be voting the way they'd like? Perhaps. Or, as they did in North Carolina and Dallas, just screw up voting machines in precincts they don't like?

But that's just it. With bots trolling, and other fake twitter account users like the aforementioned one on TD, how do you really know who you're dealing with?
I assume the fake accounts are simply adding hyperbole to their cause and making them seem more extreme and less relateable, therefore driving further divide.
It worked and probably will continue to.

I absolutely believe Putin would want Trump over Clinton. For sheer spite from our interference in their 2011 elections (and BREXIT and the Israeli elections as well). And yet we have the gall to get upset that he potentially struck back.
It is hilarious.

200k is like the tiniest drop in the bucket for Twitter. This actually proves how little impact and presence the Russian bots have.

Well. Not all BLM are people unknown to me. So there's that.
