21. That's exactly what's been happening for over a decade.

DSA and other supposed grass-roots lefty organizations got huge influxes of funding just as Putin attacked Crimea and put his puppet Trump up for president.

We saw it in miniature here on DU as many were urged to join a little group called Jackpine Radicals that pushed falsehoods about Hillary Clinton in 2015. I think that was replicated throughout the nation and helped hand the White House to Trump.

We saw it happen again leading up to the 2024 election - a splintering of Democratic support for Kamala Harris due to sustained propaganda against her and Biden coming from both the left and right.

There are good reasons for voters to be frustrated with the status quo. The propagandists use that to reel people in and push falsehoods. The goal is to elect MAGA politicians who are owned by Russia and other billionaires.

The propaganda taps into racist bigotry on the right and antisemitism on the left.

Its here. It's obvious. It's blatant.
