Very tired of suspending accounts rooting on Iran bombing people. And no, none of them are right wing, at least not self-described as such anyway.

Unreal.

I'm getting more and more confident that a big part of why so many people on the left side of the aisle have started to embrace Jihadism has got to be a coordinated FSB political technology campaign.

At yesterday's Trump rally, he paused his rant in order to allow some of the ones right behind him to start a chant of

When both the right and left are chanting the same lies that indicates some nefarious crap to me.

@GreenFire I saw that happened. Meanwhile, Republicans are calling for an escalation in the Middle East towards Iran. There’s no sense in getting further involved in that quagmire.

Nobody would be happier than Putin to see American voters further divided by wars on three fronts. There would also obviously be less attention once again on supporting Ukraine. As the GOP continues to block further aid.

Historically speaking, Russian disinformation has weaponized all.

For example, one motivation behind Democrat support for the 1965 Voting Rights Act & other Great Society legislation was to thwart Russian efforts to use the disaffected & poverty-stricken during the Cold War.

You can't build NATO using moral high ground arguments, while keeping Jim Crow.

Thwart poverty, & you thwart fascist movements.

I saw a great cartoon with two panels about the Cold War.

In the first panel labeled "then" it has a donkey and an elephant sitting across the table from the Russian bear.

In the second panel labeled "now" the donkey is alone sitting across from the elephant allied with the bear.
