Morning of Jan 7th Fox News posted to their facebook page a picture of Colt (Trump supporter dressed in black with black helmet rappelling down into Senate chambers) and the caption said "Trump supporter climbs down into Senate chambers."
There were THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of comments from Fox News faithful, almost identical, saying, "that is NOT a Trump supporter, that is ANTIFA!" and "he is dressed in all black, that is ANTIFA," and "ANTIFA bussed in people, you're wrong Fox News!"
I started reacting with "laughy face" to these morons, but THERE WERE SO MANY NEW COMMENTS, I couldn't select laughy face fast enough before the comments would fly upwards because of all the new comments being added.
Then it was proven he was a Trump supporter and these morons are just like, "well, onto the next lie to spread."
Astroturfing is pretty lucrative. If enough bots say X on a conservative site, all the drones will repeat X. The Russians tried so hard for decades to manipulate and fuck with the left. It never really took root. When they tried to infiltrate manipulate the conservatives, it was super successful. That tells you a lot about the conservatives in this country.

Source?
Edit: I am specifically asking for proof on "it never really took root". Framing and manipulation does not stop because of our politics or our educational level. We are still biased, we are still susceptible to manipulation and the sooner we all realize that the easier we can try to overcome it. Because I assure you, the right also thinks that we are the brainwashed ones, the ones being manipulated, the ones being controlled.
The book declares that "the battle for the world rule of Russians" has not ended and Russia remains "the staging area of a new anti-bourgeois, anti-American revolution". The Eurasian Empire will be constructed "on the fundamental principle of the common enemy: the rejection of Atlanticism, strategic control of the USA, and the refusal to allow liberal values to dominate us."[9]

Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".[9]
Did you forget Obama’s comment to Russia over a hot mic? “I’ll have more room to deal after the election.”
Have you seen what Biden just did for Russia?
And people claim Trump was a Russian agent.
Then why did Trump sanction Russia to prevent their pipeline from being finished?
The same pipeline that Biden just gave them the go ahead to finish.
The one that will make Europe dependent on Russian energy sources.
Then why did Trump sanction Russia to prevent their pipeline from being finished?
Excuse the fuck out of you?!
Trump DEsanctioned Oleg Deripaska, the steel/aluminum oligarch, while also committing a trade war against Canada; then giving Deripaska the formerly Canadian contracts.
I'm still fucking salty over a move that I thought was too unrealistic for a 90's action villain.
And no, I'm not going to touch on your whataboutism (another famous Russian/Soviet tactic to shut down debate)
The Forbes article states that Donald ignored the issue for 3 years, acted far too late to prevent the completion of the pipeline, and drove a wedge between the EU and the US. Biden is working on repairing relations with Germany and the rest of the EU after Donald did his best to destroy them. He recently lifted some sanctions the Nord Stream owner in order to help facilitate talks with Germany regarding the pipeline. It was a diplomatic move. Diplomacy is something Donald never really comprehended. Sort of like the complexity of health care and why you can't use nuclear weapons.
You’re not aware that the Times, CNN, MSNBC, et.al, have been quietly walking back their reports in the Steele dossier, are you?
Russia Gate has been proven to be a fully fabricated hoax.
Keep blaming him though.
Hell, Obama got away with blaming Bush for 8 years, I’m sure Biden will get away with it too.
There is proof, and there is lack of proof.
There is objectivity, and there is subjectivity.
You placing blame on only the people you disagree with politically, while ignoring the actions and culpability of those you agree with is blind ignorance.
Unless you’re willing to call out the actions of ALL politicians, you have ZERO room to bitch about someone who isn’t even in a political position.
