I find it baffling how much criticism/this stuff goes around and gets published. Which may not be surprising, it’s central to the current politics, people are invested, and press is always interested in stuff like this. Hysteria and social media trends were a thing before too. Press always rides on about the same thing until it’s over or something better comes along.
But with Russias huge investments in destabilizing the western nations with stuff like this, I have to wonder how much of it is caused or extrapolated by its involvement. Especially when I hear/read “on social media” in press, where Russias primary focus lies.
There’s no simple or single answer in a complex world. But Russia is certainly looking at this in a very satisfied way. It and what follows with the election may very well be the culmination of many years of destabilization efforts.
