Much of the group, which refers to itself as Trump’s Online War Machine, operates anonymously, adopting the cartoonish aesthetic and unrelenting cruelty of internet trolls.
Cheered on by Mr. Trump, the group traffics freely in misinformation, artificial intelligence and digital forgeries known as deepfakes. Its memes are riddled with racist stereotypes, demeaning tropes about L.G.B.T.Q. people and broad scatological humor.
It’s been investigated and found to be true at various times by intelligence agencies and social media companies. Even worse would be to pretend that doesn’t happen.
Russia definitely had a hand in trying to elect Trump but don’t discount the stupidity of the average American. They don’t need help to crap their own diapers.
We don’t need help, but we have it anyway.
Sounds like something a Russian would say.
In seriousness, if you deviate in the slightest from the party’s centrist orthodoxy or criticize their messaging in any way, the accusations of being a Trumpist and a Russian immediately start flying.
Particularly if your criticism comes from the left.

Good to know.

That’s because your imagination is the only place where that exists.
