Russian cyber ops are having a field day in churning the muck to see what plays, in order to completely throw the US into complete confusion.
No one can trust in anything and that severs the Russians when they really do want to involve themselves in US elections. Partisan politics, mostly on the side of the Democrats are helping the Russians along quite nicely, they couldn’t have done better…. if they paid them.
None of this could ever have happened if not for a feckless, partisan (Democrat) media whose main job it appears is to promote Left-wing issues and agendas. They have lost all credibility and that’s something that speaks ill for society as a whole, and the Russians are pouncing on it in order for Americans to lose faith in their institutions.
NOTE: Add to that, cultural marxism/post-modernism, which is a neo-marxist ideology aimed at destroying US institutions, you’ll begin to understand just exactly what’s attacking the US. The Russians are working the US like a punching bag and getting away with it in spades.
Why liberal conspiracy theories are flourishing in the age of Trump.
President Donald Trump is about to resign as a result of the Russia scandal. Bernie Sanders and Sean Hannity are Russian agents. The Russians have paid off House Oversight Chair Jason Chaffetz to the tune of $10 million, using Trump as a go-between. Paul Ryan is a traitor for refusing to investigate Trump’s Russia ties. Libertarian heroine Ayn Rand was a secret Russian agent charged with discrediting the American conservative movement.
These are all claims you can find made on a new and growing sector of the internet that functions as a fake news bubble for liberals, something I’ve dubbed the Russiasphere. The mirror image of Breitbart and InfoWars on the right, it focuses nearly exclusively on real and imagined connections between Trump and Russia. The tone is breathless: full of unnamed intelligence sources, certainty that Trump will soon be imprisoned, and fever dream factual assertions that no reputable media outlet has managed to confirm.
Twitter is the Russiasphere’s native habitat. Louise Mensch, a former right-wing British parliamentarian and romance novelist, spreads the newest, punchiest, and often most unfounded Russia gossip to her 283,000 followers on Twitter. Mensch is backed up by a handful of allies, including former NSA spook John Schindler (226,000 followers) and DC-area photographer Claude Taylor (159,000 followers).
