If I wanted to destroy American democracy, I& #39;d unleash a bunch of bots and trolls to stir Americans into endless "OH MY GOD WHAT IF. . ." meltdowns.

I& #39;d get people to spend all their time in absurd "what if" rabbit holes, spinning with outrage, wearing themselves out.
What a coincidence!

That& #39;s exactly the goal of Russian Active: to get people to lose confidence in democracy.

Because when enough people lose confidence in Democratic institutions, it& #39;s all over.

The problem with social media: People like to get "clicks" and "likes" . . .
Guess which will get more clicks and retweets;

-Trump will fix the election
-Biden has an edge in the polls

I suggest people are riled because news outlets and social media accounts want likes and retweets.

So without realizing it, they’re helping Don with his Big Con.
