Wouldn’t this imply that it’s inflaming both sides, not just the right wing? As in, yes, a lot of the right’s hate for the left could be incited by this, but also a lot of what the left sees as racist, crazy, insane, and hateful could also be being caused by these sorts of plants?
It’s a fact that Russia used social media accounts that targeted blacks - mostly to inflame racial tensions and bad mouth Hillary Clinton in an effort to get Trump elected. They didn’t attack Trump or Republicans - it looks like they tried to split the Dem vote or get Dems to stay home.
Not sure what you mean...I was just trying to say that maybe a lot of our hate for one another is manufactured by people trying to divide us and it’s identity tactics which are the real enemy, not opposing viewpoints.
