      (THREAD) Russian-made pages & ads on social media (shown to Congress today) demonstrate that Russia's main strategic aim is sowing division.

      Russian operatives clearly saw Trump fans as the most susceptible, especially anti-immigration, anti-Muslim, & some Christian Americans. 2/x

          And here's the ad targeting Christians I found most ridiculous, though it'd be funnier if I were confident it didn't influence anyone. 4/xpic.twitter.com/a85X5q77F5

          More Russian posts (both sponsored and free) targeted right-wing Americans, but some targeted Americans on the left. 5/x

          All this evidence should put to rest claims that Russia didn't actually try to influence the US election (as if more was needed). 9/x

          But it won't. Some Americans are too invested. They'd have to admit they fell for propaganda. The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming. 10/x

          Russia's effort to sow divisiveness hasn't stopped. Ex., they played both sides of the NFL #TakeAKnee debate. https://arcdigital.media/russian-linked-twitter-accounts-are-exploiting-the-nfl-debate-on-social-media-6ffda9e52226 … 11/x

          This is a new type of warfare, particular to the internet age (especially social media), that allows Russia to punch above its weight. 12/x

          Sowing divisiveness is effective because Americans really are divided. On controversial issues, both sides think they're right. 13/x

          But the new Russian propaganda strategy amplifies the angriest voices, and gives the conspiracy theorists much greater reach. 14/x

          The new, more sophisticated Russian propaganda aims to cast doubt on Truth. Media's biased, authority figures lie, don't trust them. 16/x

          Repeat misinformation over and over to exhaust everyone. Two sides to every issue, both very biased, so might as well trust "your side" 17/x
