Remember that scene from the end of Brazil? ... Something like that, probably. EDIT: For those who know what I'm talking about, it's not the "Love Conquers All" bullshit ending either.
Russia used memes and "useful idiots" to spread propaganda. This was an actual strategy that was central to their interference campaign. .....Maga literally had "Meme Mondays" on his Twitter.
Bump! The investigation into troll farms responsible for this has been completed. I can't wait for the details. Twitter Maga's were their primary targets.
More fallout - different angle, same premise. The Russians specifically targeted "idiots of the right" because they would "fall for it and run with it." So many ran with it - including one or our own
They definitely did find a LOT of gullible people. And while Mags might have been wealthy, that doesn't take away from the fact he was gullible as fuck.
If someone says they're going to give me a bunch of money, I believe them, then they give me a bunch of money, how does that make me gullible?
