      From the article:

      “They are afraid of losing the American way of life and the ‘American dream,’” Ilya Gambashidze, an architect of the project, wrote, outlining his scheme. “It is these sentiments that should be exploited in the course of an information campaign in/for the United States.” To do so, the Russian government would emphasize that Republicans are “victims of discrimination of people of color” and promote conspiracies that white middle-class people are being discriminated against.

      The “guerrilla media” plan needed to not only plant falsehoods, but also spread them far and wide. They targeted gamers and chatroom users, who they described as the “backbone of the right-wing trends in the US segment of the Internet,” and monitored social media influencers. The Russians planned to build relationships with prolific posters who were “proponents of traditional values, who stand up for ending the war in Ukraine and peaceful relations between the US and Russia, and who are ready to get involved in the promotion of the project narratives.”

      “We need influencers! A lot of them and everywhere. We are ready to wine and dine them,” wrote Gambashidze in a note from a meeting with Russian government officials.

      Though this specific campaign has no official link with recent findings about Tenet Media’s work with Russian state media network RT, the goals are the same: “To secure victory for [Donald Trump].”

      Me: has the republican party been TOTALLY comprised? What do they even stand for, at this point?

      My biggest surprise was that there wasn’t anyone of the left.

      The speed at which the right has gone from Red Meat, Commie-Hating Patriots to Russia is My White Ethno-State Eden is pretty amazing. 

      Maybe we can actually undo some of this.

      Yes, the poor Russians are so insanely jealous of what that stands for, to my good relatives and friends over the pond. They’ve gone insane in an attempt to destroy rather than to build: To build a society not plagued by total repression destined to crash and implode (again).

      If they were working against Russia, they be yeeted out nearest window.

      Since these literal traitors identify as Republicans, I guess nothing will happen to them. Treaon has been normalised by the right.

      If nothing is done democracy will die.

      Have they figured out how much money Fox News has been getting or is that a national security secret?

      This is also why Russia is jailing anyone who doesn’t support their regime . They are afraid West could start using the same tactics.

      It’s been extremely obvious for a long time now that the American right is a tool for Russia.

      just like the Iraqi wmds…bullshit!

      show the proof, verify it with outside sources, or piss off with the endless making shit up routine for the sheeple to consume

      “Terrifying”?

      Bullshit click bait word.

      Don’t read any articles with headlines including terrifying, frightening, scary, etc as they’re click bait articles prolly written by AI.

      Side note. I’m guessing articles manufactured by AI will tend to use colloquial terms at least 6 months to a year out of date.
      This is first time in long time I’ve seen “terrifying” in an article headline, which leads me to believe it’s AI generated. A year ago plenty of article headlines had such word choices.
