It' funny because I was just talking to somebody about things like discussing White Nationalism or providing links to certain websites or online source documentation because I don't really want to expose my crazy ass conservative friends and family to anything more.
-
I also was having a conversation with my conservative friend about his consistent posting of right wing stories depicting left leaning violence or rhetoric. Every comment like "we're going to kick their asses" is taken as a literal threat. Self-radicalization...

A foot soldier in the agitprop war on American democracy. He'd probably be shocked to find out that the propaganda's source is the Kremlin.

The amazing part is that the only reason I know him and 10 other people on my Facebook feed is that we were all war bloggers. He was a major instigator and central figure with +++ followers. I was really a nobody in comparison. You know why he and we were blogging?

To provide other information about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and to try to push stories. There were also the projects to develop followers and engage with opposition. We did a fund raiser to get computers for Iraqis & Afghanistans. I know he knows how this works.

I mean, it was quite rudimenatry compared to today's operations by actual govts with the kind of forensic insights that they have. We were an ad hoc group, but were engaged with the DoD, CentCom etc. We understood basic ideas like how many hits a story got v google ranking
-
We were also aware that we were providing the same possible pushing of jihad websites or other related info/stories if we linked or discussed it at any depth or repeatedly. My friends have suddenly gone completely obtuse when it comes to their own radicalization.

The Russians absolutely tried to sway the election by giving $500,000 to Bill Clinton for a single speech & by "donating" $130 million to the Clinton Foundation. Then there's the dossier, Clinton & Russia $. The entire world knows these truths. When will fake news AP report it?

As if America doesn't meddle in other countries elections to manipulate the outcome in our favor. We do the same thing Russia did, and have been for a very long time.
-
It's only a problem when the meddling impacts the results of an election that the Democrats thought they would win.

What emboldened them was #45’s blatant refusal to DO anything, SAY anything, and DENYING the hard work of the men and women laying their very lives on the line from the FBI. It was NOT accusations that emboldened them.

Fix your headline. “Accusations” implies uncertainty. Mueller has indicted almost 30 Russians in his probe of Russia’s influence on our elections.
-
An indictment is an accusation. But the tweet is confusing. Did the accusations embolden or did the Kremlin's efforts?
-
True. An indictment is not a conviction, but surely the headline could have read “sweeping legal indictments”, which more accurately describes thorough investigations have been made and enough evidence exists to expect convictions.
-
The tweet (I don't think that's actually the headline) could have been better and clearer.

This article is so real that only took minutes for Russian trolls to reply to it.
