    It did though

    Every fucking liberal still believes, to their core, in the existence of a vast warehouse full of Russian agents posting anti-Democrat agitprop in support of Trump. Everything negative in the West is now a Russian psyop according to liberals: independence movements, pro-Palestinian movements, any form of fascism is funded by Russia, etc

    There was never any proof posted and yet this fucking idea scrawled onto the back of some Langley lanyard's napkin at lunch became the guiding principle by which all liberals have spent the last 8 years living

      Unfortunately I agree. It did seem to work very well. Libs in my family that know literally nothing about Russia are convinced that Putin is out to get them.

      When I was telling my Blue MAGA friend I would never vote for Biden and he needed to step down (jokes on them, I won't vote for Kopmala either), he accused me and my wife of basically buying into Russian propaganda...like bro, all I did was watch the debate and watch this corpse of a man cling to power, no Russians involved.

      I guess now I have fallen for even more Russian propaganda, such as the very words that came out of Kopmala's mouth (frack more, make our military more lethal, palestinians are r**ists)

        I have started calling Biden a Russian agent and say that he is using advanced Russian reverse psychology to manipulate Patriotic Americans to vote for Kamala.

      I always find funny when something happens and someone quickly go: Russian hackers/Russian bots.

      Sometimes Putin is a incompetent moron and sometimes he is god who can shape the entire internet? Come on.

      The liberals saw QAnon, and how it warped the Republican party, and thought, "Hey, we need some of that on our side."

      But didn't they lose the election to Trump when they went so hard on the Russia stuff in 2016? This stuff sounds like it only works on true believer libs.

          Yes that one. I still find it wild that in 1/3 of US elections in the 21st century, the candidate with less votes won. So much for the "freedom and democracy" that the US likes to preach about...

        The Russia stuff didn't really take off until after the Democrats blew it. Its purpose was not to get out the vote, but to blame everything on forces beyond their control and prevent the Democratic Party from being justifiably decapitated by its constituents. In the end, it worked. They lost to Donald fucking Trump and all of them got to keep their jobs.

      There was never any proof posted

      IIRC there was some proof it's just that the "interference" had all the sophistication of a facebook page called "Blacks 4 Trump" with 20 followers. The exact same thing was done with far more skill by the UK-based private company Cambridge Analytica but for some reason we never hear about the british interfering in our sham elections.

      Not just 'lib' libs either. Just about anyone in the Anglosphere will believe anything about russiachina.
