This was from a comment waaaaay down-thread earlier this week, on a post about California Secession (a wedge issue backed by Russia). Thought you’d find it interesting.

    It’s been all too obvious since I joined Lemmy that Russia’s APT groups are pushing narratives on us.

    The stats are for a subreddit genius.

    Trump may be s Russian asset but the US extreme right and it’s wish for a violent civil war is a homegrown phenomenon. As is American political illiteracy.

      It may be homegrown, but it has been fertilized by Russian propaganda bullshit.

        You can’t solve your problems if you even refuse to admit them. Russia could go away tomorrow and the US’s course towards fascism would not change.
