Theyâve sown distrust of traditional media and of democratic institutions, theyâve polarised discourse to that communities that mostly rubbed alongside one another reasonably well now are so idealogically opposed to each other that the middle ground has evaporated.
And if you think âhaha stupid MAGAsâ falling for propaganda, I got news for you buddy, youâve fallen for it too.

Good thing youâre immune, though. Now tell me more about how all of the Westâs problems are actually because of a vast conspiracy theory of evil foreigners.
1 - where did I say Iâm immune?
2 - are you ignoring the fact that Russia openly admits to doing this?
Gentlemen, we interfered, we interfere, and we will interfere ⌠Carefully, precisely, surgically, and in our own way, as we know how. During our pinpoint operations, we will remove both kidneys and the liver at once.

âI didnât say Iâm immune to propaganda! Itâs just the propaganda I believe happens to be true! See, hereâs an unsourced quote that doesnât contain any concrete claims but certainly sounds sinister!â
Lol, I just noticed youâre an ML. No wonder youâre desperate to deny anything bad ever came out of Russia. Scuttle back to your tankie echo chamber.

Youâve fallen for propaganda that convinces you that there is an external enemy to worry about instead of actually looking at the situation critically. Right-wing organizations drive right-wing talking points.
Pretty sure they did that to themselves. I didnât need Russia feeding me propaganda to see through the bullshit, and many others reached that conclusion on their own. The Fairness Doctrine being repealed is one big reason why traditional media failed. Russia didnât do that.
Right-wingers and liberals alike have polarized discourse. Leftists arenât innocent either, especially MLs (many whom seem to be biased towards Russia), but there are plenty that I have interacted with that or witnessed that were exceedingly fair and human.
Liberals blame anybody to the left of them for not falling in line, constantly mock or berate them for demanding better, and do absolutely nothing to meaningfully do anything to improve their preferred party or improve the human condition in America. As for the right, we all know what they do.
Politics and governance shouldnât be a game of tug of war where the right have a monster truck pulling their side and Democrats pretending to hold the rope on their side.
