The overlap between Kremlin and Russian mob is a flat circle. Dissidents get jailed. LGBTQ rights get trampled. Corrupt oligarchy. Open political assassinations. Scientists getting suicided. Polonium poisoning. Invading Ukraine. Funding Erdogan's army against ethnic populations. Extending the Presidency to a virtual lifetime appointment. Etc.
But somehow any mention of Russia gets poo poo'd and dismissed.
It's amazing that the Trumps and Bidens and Giulianis and Manaforts, etc. get linked to backroom deals, and everyone wants to point out the corruption, but not the partner on the other end.
Russia bad.
Russia bad? Yes, just look at it. We should shit on it more I guess.
Russian bots behind rise of fascism? Lol no.
Now, all the libs with their calipers saying "the slavic craneum shows the clear characteristics of untrustwhorty people" probably makes a lot of people to don't want to dip their toes there, despite the clear signs of Putin being a shitbag.
I mean, they're not the most powerful force, but they've definitely got a finger on the scale. They share the same agenda as the GOP.
I really don't think any effort of any non-US country to influence the election had any real effect.
30% of the country is locked into Q Anon. If you think its origins are completely organic or that there's no appreciable long-term effects, I've got some beachfront property to sell you in the Florida Keys.
QAnon is not organic, but wasn't started by russians instigators.

We've had cults and conspiracy groups long before Russia was Russia. And it mostly comes from the right wing as well. John Birch society for example. There absolutely can be home-grown, organic, Q-type stuff. It's happened before. The Know Nothing party is another example.
