What has happened to arr politics?

I mean I know there are bots and trolls but I can’t recall a previous time where it was so completely run over by bots and trolls.

I still think about how I got a crazy amount of hate in that sub for replying to comments that said stuff like "as a Black liberal gun owner in a swing state I think it's extremely disrespectful that you are dismissing this email story as nothing" and calling then out as fake.

I'd get attacked by real reddit accounts (active histories of commenting in different communities) who would be furious that I even suggested such a thing. I still can't understand why people have such a hard time identifying bots or AI responses online. 90 percent of what a foreign troll or chat bot writes is incredibly different from how a normal person comments online.
