Im sure some of this is real. But i wonder how much of this is actually foreign state actors. We have a bunch of countries working overtime trying to destabilize the U.S. right now.
I’m definitely still somewhat in denial, starting from about 2015. Most of this can’t be real, right? My fellow Americans can’t really want this, can they? I understand Trump likes attention and running a sweet scam, but he can’t actually want to be president, right?
I dont think he wanted to be president again. I thought he wanted to avoid a prison sentence honestly.
This and the "lefties" increasingly calling for another insurrection. Definitely a lot of foreign state actor influencing the emotion right now.
I haven't heard any left leaning people in real life calling for violence.
Makes no difference to the women being targeted, and is still the direct result of a Trump win. Give the real magas 30 more seconds to realize they've just witnessed the birth of Let's Go Brandon 2.0 and they'll dwarf the number of state actors anyhow.
I think we should absolutely consider foreign actors as the likely seed for some of these flashy, rage-bait stories. Russia's primary goal since 2015 has been to keep us from trusting one another, and I expect them to ramp up messaging to leftist groups over the next few months. We're uncertain, isolated, and afraid, and that makes us likely targets for cultural wedge disinformation.
At least 90% is my guess. MANY foreign countries are trying very hard to ensure we tear ourselves apart from the inside
