Russian propaganda makes Republicans weird
The US Department of Justice said yesterday that Russia is once again attacking the sovereignty of the United States by mounting yet another campaign to influence the outcome of a presidential election.Attorney General Merrick Garland said a federal indictment alleges that a Tennessee company got mi...
No, they were already weird.
Yes, but now they are even weirder than before.
Russian propaganda appeals to & takes advantage of weird people.
You have done that yourself

WeirdER.
I think weird is the antidote to Russian interference, they want to split the country along all prooble lines. Weird makes it possible to reconcile eventually instead of making the split irreversible
Eh, I'd say willingly believing obvious Russian Propaganda, and then even going so far as to say, *What's wrong with Russia? They aren't our enemy," in an attempt excuse their gullibility, makes them weird.
Yes, I have had this conversation with obviously gullible people here on Lemmy over the past year. I remember some guy saying how Tim Pool is such an intellectual. How he used to be this super liberal guy from Vice News until he saw the "truth" and became a
hardcore Alt-Right nutjobstaunch conservative.Ya think 100,000 Russian dollars a month might have had something to do with it?
I understand the right wingers. I don't like it but I at least understand it.
What I don't understand are the far-left who willingly follows in far-left Russian propaganda.
Remember folks: Russia in 2016 pushed both Black Lives Matter AND Blue Lives Matter. Russia played both sides because they want chaos amongst us. They will coopt and corrupt American calls.
The leftist pro-Palestine stuff (especially to the point where you're supposed to vote for Jill Stein) is one obvious example to me. Iran and Russia are aligned on this issue. Ukraine and Israel are also aligned in our global posture.
I understand the need to protect Gaza civilians too and I think that Israeli administration are full of cowboys whose anti regulation stance is leading to atrocities. But we can't just absorb far-left Iranian or Russian propaganda on that matter.
I 100% expect Russia and Iran to continue to use Gaza as a wedge issue to hurt the left. The left is supposed to be smart enough to see the disinfo tactics turning us away from the Ukrainians but suddenly go blind on the other geopolitical matter.
It's just like the Black Lives Matter Russian disinfo campaign. They are very good at corrupting our ideals into us hating our allies and hating ourselves.
Republicans have been weird for a long time.
I would say there inherit trend to lean towards fascism makes them weird... this stuff was rolling way before Trump.
*among other things
Instead of turning us against each other, Putin is turning Americans against those of us who no longer look and sound all American.
No, we've always disliked them.
Surely you don't think the orange felon, Shay Dee Vance, Elon Musk and RFK Jr are weird, do you? I mean no one can prove it - right? RIGHT?
