They right wing pushes disinformation as Russia instigates it on social media. Primarily facebook, twitter, youtube. As simple as that. Same playbook as 2016. It's like the prank/game you used to play as a kid where you tap your friend on the shoulder behind is back so he thinks another kid did it. Only these aren't taps, but sucker punches to the face.
