A few days ago, Motty posted a video and wrote "here is what I have against them". The video appeared to show a MAGA woman being attacked by a bunch of libbies, but was later shown to be faked by Russian influencers. The video only showed them yelling while lightly tapping her shoes. It was staged.

I can't tell you how many millions of Americans believe this video is real, but its not trivial. A recent story by the AP (and a massive indictment by the Department of Justice) details just how much money the Russians are paying for very popular US MAGA accounts to post Russian propaganda.

Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson. Do you follow these people on Twitter? They all have millions of followers. All of these accounts amplified the fake video. They are being paid sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars to post stuff that Russia asks them to "weaken US opposition to Russian interests (like the war in Ukraine)"

Before you say this is fake news, Tim and Dave and Benny and even Ben Shapiro have admitted to it. They claim they were duped and didn't know where the money came from. But imagine you were getting paid $100,000 and didn't even ask who was paying you. Weird.

Please be more discerning about believing what people post on the internet is true.

They all claim they were duped into committing treason for money. What do you think?

It was on the BBC too.
And these alt-right people are now calling themselves victims…

Bunch of whining snowflakes!

Why is it only right-wingers that get duped like this?

Why do right-wingers increasingly cite some random guy's YouTube channel or Facebook group as a "source"?

There's just something off. almost as if being right-wing is a developmental disability. I'm not even kidding or trying to throw insults, I'm being 100 percent serious.

How does a right-winger's mind see "accents" as some major flaw but not being a convicted criminal? What makes a right-winger deliberately ignore most of the world's news outlets and scientists in favor of what they read on Twitter?

Is a right-winger truly not fixable and irreparably damaged? Are they doomed to forever ignore someone with a PHD in science for someone who said windmills cause cancer?

There has to be an answer.

They’ve invested too much in their rabbit holes and are too proud to back out of them.

It’s no secret that Russian agents are trying to destabilize democracies across Europe and in the USA. Intelligence services have been warning about this for years.

I do not know why right wingers are particularly liable to fall for false narratives. All I can say is, don’t get your news from social media platforms.

What is wrong with Russians trying to sway people to vote one way or another?
You do that yourself. So do I.

Really? You don’t see any difference between an American citizen, such as Elon Musk, and foreign powers, such as Putin or Erdogan, trying to influence American elections? One of them is a crime and the other isn’t, it’s that simple.

The USA does that all of the time. How do you think Yeltsin became president of Russia? He was the CIA pick. Is it your position that we can do it to Russia, but they cannot do it to us?

Besides, Putin endorsed Kamala. Do you have problem with that?

A white man is currently president because of Dems. Bernie Sanders, another white man, was in second place to be president in 2020.

Before him, Dems chose a white woman to be president with a white man in second place for the nomination.

Most Dems in both the House and Senate are white. By far.

So how do how do they "hate" whites?
