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.

Something nobody talks about is how the internet transformed into a whole other beast around 2015 to 2016. Nobody talks about it because all the bots (used loosely to mean bad actors of human or otherwise) control discourse. It’s masses of undefineable swarms of bot posting at any give moment in any given part of the internet.
