This is also the biggest threat to losing the election.

He lost in 2020. There is no way voters now have a better impression of him.

BUT Putin has a more valid reason to help him than in 2016: destroying the funding for Ukraine.

The real Russian threat are it's hackers and troll farms.

I hope our national security apparatus isn't too compromised by Trump lackeys to deal with these threats.

@Hawkmoon great points. Unfortunately, our national security apparatus will not be able to remove these bad faith actors from private social media companies. They will act with impunity

They wouldn't have to remove them if they could publicly identify them.

They could have an official government website showing all troll farm content that they've identified.

There have to be countermeasures because this strategy is working all over Europe and the UK as well.
