    It’s not really “right wing” astroturfing, as you seem to mean it. there are well publicized social media influence operations run by rogue states, with the apparent goal of steering and polarizing political discourse the US and Europe. and you are falling for it.

        I took your comment to mean you believe it is actual right-wing (e.g. Republicans, etc) astroturfing, as opposed to state-sponsored trolls. But perhaps you think of those governments as right wing and that’s what you meant.

      So they’re the ones responsible for Trump and Maga and all that bullshit. Technically responsible for our modern right wing nutjob.
