They are frantically pushing the 'Putin is our friend' meme and 'there really wasn't any Russian interference in 2016', and 'both tRump and Biden are the same so I'll never vote for Biden'...yada yada yada...

Same st, different election.

And after Biden wins, they will purge their posts again and try to fade away into the woodwork like last time.

But of course...screenshots and archive.org are forever.
