So basically, the way I see it, if you spread pro-Trump memes last year, or fought for him online, you were willfully, ignorantly promoting Russian propaganda that was intended to divide us as a nation.
You helped Russia make our democracy less workable, and you were complicit in subverting our democratic process. The Trump Trolls were unknowingly used as operatives to disseminate fake news and bs memes created by Russians that were intended to undercut Hillary's campaign.
If you were duped, you are no less culpable. The stench of treason is in the air, and it will cling to you. Trump supporters are all trolls and bots, or worse, willing agents working for a foreign adversary. That is how I see it. Trump supporters were duped into working as agents for another country's interests. They are quislings. Collaborators. Benedict Arnolds, the lot of them. Ignorance is no excuse.

But if Bernie had been the nominee, the Russian oligarchy would still have been supporting DT. Bernie stood for everything they oppose -- and he wouldn't have helped them in their oil adventures.

(70,078 posts)i have been pretty suspicious of those personality tests on fb, etc. i know they are capturing those metrics.
i occasionally take one, cuz i cant figure out how they could monetize how many colors i can see.
but a very popular one was the- who is the candidate that you agree w most.
i dont remember people sharing their results that they are closest to hillary.
bernie, stein, etc. how many layers of their psyches did they show?
but what matters is what showed up in their feeds after that, after they had laid out their views issues. and revealed their weaknesses.
