Your reminder

In 2016 Russia financed a series of ads along with an army of upvote bots. The intent was to divide america further from all angles

The senate intelligence committee released the following ads from Russia linked actors

These are from accounts with names like Blacktivists, Back the Badge, Secure Borders, Army of Jesus and so on. Every division covered

We’re heading into 2024. If you see a political ad trying to provoke you: mistrust it.

@flexghost I sometimes wonder too about stuff I see on Facebook from groups like Occupy Democrats or The Other 98% or similar pages. Some of the memes they post and that I see shared by fellow liberals/progressives almost seem like they are purposefully made to make us on the left seem like we have more extreme or more unreasonable positions than we actually do. Like to drive division and make it harder for nonTrumpy center/right people to be able to vote with us to defeat MAGA.

@saren I can actually answer that. Back when I was on Twitter I had and was a member of DM groups. Some had official democrat organizers asking people (medium and large accounts) to disseminate talking points from their agenda. Then smaller accounts would see the larger accounts talking about a topic and submit their tweets/messages to the DM group for others to repost / retweet

Instant echo chamber with very few people at the helm.
