I saw a Youtube comment the other day calling for Trump to throw away the constitution, declare himself king and execute judges who don’t enact his will. It had likes.

I mean… it’s probably Russian bots? Right?

Honestly it probably is. That’s the whole Russian method, sow dissent and make the other side hate and distrust each other. Find every division you can and build the “other” into an evil bogeyman. Of course the fact that the literal nazis have seen this as an opportunity gives it a grain of truth and there is always someone who really believes that.

Yes, it is 100% Russian bot glazing, but that is how propaganda works, some people see all tge bot activity and jump on board.

Biggest Russian troll farm employs over 60,000 people to run tens of accounts at a time.
