Remember, the folks who inundated social media with anti Hillary crap

[Eliot Rosewater]

are still everywhere and they are quite busy but now the topic has changed.

For instance, "Russia isnt really at war with us" or "Putin is not that bad" or "Hillary fucked with Putin's election so this is payback"



And other stuff like that.

Make no mistake, there are thousands of folks out there trying to get you to look the other way. Everywhere.

1. True dat...nt

[The Wielding Truth]

2. With trump in their pocket and his cabinet full of connected appointees things look

tenuous for democracy. The sooner they are out the better.

[Squinch]

3. I see many names of the worst agitators from the campaign returning.

[annabanana]

4. Botskis and Trollskis

meet the new noise, same as the old noise

[L. Coyote]

20. Perfect. The propaganda never ends.

Mind control is a 24/7 exercise. that's why we have news channels.

[ismnotwasm]

5. Oh yes.

Very ugly

6. Remember

Comey said that it's possible Russia will try and interfere with 2018, 2020, and beyond.

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. Already are, of course. Everyone needs to watch this season on "Homeland"

shows how factories of people and bots are used to spread propaganda, which is and has been happening by Russia and Trump team.

We are at war, we have been attacked, and the president is an undercover agent for the enemy, even if he is too dumb to know he is.

8. I stopped watching Homeland after season 3

The writer's lost me with their crazy plots-- But it's nice to know they're using current events in the new season.

[Eliot Rosewater]

11. They wrote in a female president, assuming what we all assumed.

They show a warehouse of people posting propaganda all over social media, each person has like 100 accounts with different names

[Ilsa]

12. I didn't watch the first 4 or 5 seasons.

The last three have been good (Pakistan, Germany, now NYC). I think it's amazing they came up with this plot so long ago.

[tblue37]

10. The term "useful idiot" comes to mind. nt

[VOX]

19. Been watching. There's an Alex Jones/Bannon-ish character...

Who's rather...interesting. Good writing this season, the episodes are taut and up-to-speed with what's going on in the real world.

[Kimchijeon]

9. True! The bullshit brigades are neverending

And then of course, regular folks repeat the phony talking points/nonsense so it spreads further.

[Qutzupalotl]

13. Also, "I've been reading about Gorsuch and he isn't so bad."

[Eliot Rosewater]

14. Love that one

[LaydeeBug]

15. They bring up uranium like 'whack a mole'. No matter.

This goes on

[mcar]

16. Also, "Hillary should have spoken up about the Russia thing"

[Eliot Rosewater]

17. I heard "Hillary fucked with Putin election so that is why Putin fucked with hers"

Might as well be wearing the Russian flag on your shirt.

[mcar]

18. I've seen that one too

False equivalence at its finest.
