Fuck dude, this was only a few years ago. GOP led congressional investigations into these things which all flamed out as nothing burgers. Kind of like your bullshit Kobach led voter fraud commission. We've got a pattern of right wingers abusing the powers of the big old government to further their political ambitions and you all (the right wing cucks) love it while simultaneously pretending to hold these quasi-libertarian beliefs. It's a wonder your heads don't explode off your shoulders trying to hold all these conflicting phenomenon together.
That's undoubtedly true.

Good for this guy. He did a little research, realized the right wing media was bullshitting him, and now he find Russian trolls as a hobby.

"Just documenting what happened and that what different bots may have been up to on Twitter, so people can see and look at the data for themselves and maybe think, 'I've been consuming this disinformation and maybe I should stop."
Russell's interest in troll hunting started in the waning weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign, when he started investigating some of the most slanderous lies circulating online about Hillary Clinton. He'd been leaning toward voting for Donald Trump, but realized he could not find any evidence supporting some of the most outlandish allegations against Clinton circulating on Twitter.
"I had been consuming alt-right news for three or four years without knowing," he says. "Someone had been lying to me."
That got him thinking about how people's perceptions of the world, and their decisions about whom to vote for, can be shaped by what they see online.
