"SNIP.....

The Russians tried to influence the midterm election, but they were not successful because social media companies made a better effort to keep their propaganda from gaining traction, and more importantly, the American people have learned what to look for and are more suspicious.

However, the Russians have seized on the controversy surrounding Florida and attempting to exploit it do divide the American people. As has become the norm, the Russians appear to be mostly targeting Republicans after Trump has spent years making his party receptive to their message.

As passions get more heated in Florida, it is important to scrutinize information on social media.

The Russians are still trying to mess with our democracy, but the defense remains informed American voters and news consumers.

1. You mean like the people on DU who judiciously forebear

from posting every sh*t stirring meme thought up by rwnjs, that otherwise most of us would never hear of?

And those who are careful not to post exaggerated half truths about some poor soul somewhere oppressed by government/neighbors/police/juries to rile us liberals?

2. ? I think we should know some of the worst of what is going on. Heads

in the sand do not work. As to your last paragraph if police and juries are involved who are we to have a say? That is how justice. Works.

3. But neither of those types of posts are actually what is GOING on.

They’ve just conscious attempts at sowing divisiveness; with what some fool THINKS or SAYS, mostly wrongly.
