Propaganda to me would be someone saying something is racist and then next second openly supporting that racist for doing the very thing they said was racist. Talking about bad actors, having someone who will completely flip their morals daily, especially on something so important as racism. It shows that racism is ok as long as it suits a persons political agenda. One day racism is important, the next it's swept under the rug. To me that is about as digitally illiterate as possible. A complete self-contradiction. Cowardice.This seems like relevant reporting. This nugget was extremely alarming:
Americans Are More Vulnerable to Foreign Propaganda, Senator Warns
Senator Mark Warner, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, said the United States was more susceptible to Russian influence operations than it was during the 2020 elections.www.nytimes.com
It’s really important to receive news from vetted sources. Bad actors out there are looking to have a malignant influence on American opinions, just as they did in 2016 to help Trump win. and sadly propaganda works on many who don’t know how to be digitally literate.
As far as Russian influence. Maybe just maybe if Obama would've stopped it when he was supposed to Putin wouldn't have meddled. He's the one that literally told his intelligence to stand down. How you can blame that on Trump is mind boggling to me. Obama literally allowed Putin to meddle just so Putin would sign off on his Iran deal. The same deal that is now feeding Iran and Russia with arms. You wan't to talk about Propaganda, lets talk the Russia Hoax and the Pee tapes that you promised years ago.
