    “Ha ha today I think I’ll spread disinfo about Russian meddling to advance my political agenda”

    time passes

    “Holy shit I heard Russia is meddling in our politics!”

      I don’t even think they were intentionally spreading the disinfo, plenty of them genuinely believed that Russia significantly altered the 2016 election results in some capacity, ignoring the litany of evidence otherwise

      Oh no, they purged some names from some ballots for primary voting iirc

      Oh no, they put out some misleading tweets that were drops in an ocean

      But some libs treat those things like they were on the level of a militarized coup
