putin is funny guy, he had to have known that this would make both democrats and republicans seethe.
It's like the easiest thing he could do to accelerate the end of the American empire.
It's crazy how fragile capitalism makes .... Well everything
Pretty sure Putin doesn't care who wins, both are terrible for the US. But you're right that this is absolutely the right thing for him to say to do some pot stirring
Classic move from the Ruzzian Dysinfomystizia Playbook and the democrats are falling for it so easily lol
Libs: "See Putler loves Trump!"
Hogs: "See! Biden is WEAK! Our god emperor is STRONG! Also proof Beijing Biden is a communist puppet!"
Dude you joke but the thread on Lemmy.ml was full of that lib shit.
I can't say I'm surprised lol
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.
40% of the country are violent fascists
Being optimistic:
- Only 50% of eligible people vote
- 50% of them vote Republican
- I'd say about 80% of Republicans will enthusiastically support anything the GOP does
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.
40%
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.
Понятно сэр, cлава родине!
