2. What I am wondering

With the war Putin is waging, and with Republicans finally realizing that aligning themselves with Russia is probably a bad idea, does the propaganda dry up? There are severe limits on financing these efforts right now.

I don't think people outside of DU realize how lock step the Russian troll farms have been with the Republican Party for the last 5+ years. They've been a vital and seamless arm of the Republican Party, constantly bombarding social media users with the exact message the GOP is telling them to deliver. If that stops, the GOP is severely handicapped going into the mid terms. They've built their entire party around Putin propaganda for years.

To reject Russia is to reject the GOP the last 5 years, they are near one and the same.
