amp.cnn.com
Foreign adversaries like Russia and China "weaponized" QAnon messaging to sow further discord among the American population in the months leading up to, and following, the January 6 attack, according to a new report released Monday that details how these countries are not only utilizing the same false narratives to peddle disinformation on social media, but also fueling a conspiracy theory that could incite more violence by domestic extremists.

    The future of the American political system is not republican vs. democrat, left vs. right, or even progressive vs. conservative; but rather people who blame China for all of their problems vs. people who blame Russia.

    spoiler

    And of course, frothing-at-the-mouth xenophobia will be the radical centrist position.

        Liberals can't square away with like 30-40% of the population earnestly believing in QAnon. They want to think america is better than that, that it along with Trump were exceptions rather than norms. So in their fantasy world, americans are good and smart but they're just tricked by got dang Russia and China!

      Like 98% of all these stories are like that Onion headline of "Taliban sits back and does nothing". The fuck would China or Russia interfere with americans hyping each other up on Q shit. It's organic brainworms that good ol' americans love to get down with.

    Yeah, Travis View from the QAA podcast retweeted a long thread about how faulty all the "data" they had was, so even if I was a raging lib (which I am), I wouldn't believe this shit.
