Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I believe a lot of MAGA influencers are problably either directly employed by the Kremlin, or at least supported from there. For Russia, it is the easiest way to destroy their enemies.
Look what a number Russia did on the UK with their Brexit. And look what they currently do with idiot right wingers in Europe, who, despite "My country first, fuck the rest" always seem to have a very soft spot for "poor old sactioned Russia", and they more or less unisono state that the Russian attack on Ukraine is just e defense against western/NATO aggression.
And it’s a problem that should have been addressed but a large part of the economy depends on these bots to generate rage for views. So no regulations coming soon because facebooks bottom line or what ever
also a large part of our government depends on these bots for their power and influence.
Which is why no action will ever be taken against them.
Cause they will never vote to lessen their power and influence.
Shame if the Ukrainians blew up a few troll farms.
possible they have.
Theres been numerous instances where big MAGA influencer accounts have gone radio silent when Ukraine knocked out power to Moscow, for instance.
and with the way twitter revealed where everyone registered and currently posts from last week.. Well, lets just say that suddenly made a lot more sense as to why, lol. most MAGA influencer accounts are from Belarus, Russia, India, etc. all cosplaying white conservative americans.
Russia has for the last decade at least, been influencing media in the west to cause doubt in various systems of governance.
The most interesting article I saw this week was Eastern Orthodox churches in the US are seeing a massive increase in attendance from mostly “conservative” young men. Easter orthodox has never had much influence in the US, but now it’s becoming popular? Why is that?
I spotted an article myself this week. Apparently they tried to make a move. https://united24media.com/latest-news/russian-orthodox-church-accused-of-war-propaganda-now-lobbying-in-washington-13560
Yep. It was also around that time that swarms of dodgy new accounts started shitting on Sweden in every reddit thread. Lots of real people are still brainwashed from that time and bring up the same talking points to this day.
I guess the exact same thing happened to London exaggerating knife violence.
One of Farage's Reform Party senior leaders just got sentenced to jail for being an undeclared Russian mouthpiece. The Reform Party is constantly pushing pro-Russian stances, along with being racist and anti-immigrant scum.
And if not the Kremlin, they're paid by homegrown oligarchs.
