I am actually surprised this went outside of cyber warfare, I thought these guys were just using social media, but nope, they actually paid people here in America in real life to do stuff, they acted as actual Americans, had false papers, were literal spies here on the ground in the United States. This is insane.

1. Makes you wonder if any ended up

doing their patriotic duty working the polls on election day.

2. Theres speculation they hacked into voter rolls to create dupe registrations so the GOP

Could “find” the dupes. I know there were a lot of recent cases of using real names for various letters to be editor and comments to the FCC about net nuetrality.

3. Fox News and the NRA have these people brainwashed into thinking America is the NRA and Fox.

I saw a previous co-worker responding to the horrible deaths at the high school by saying there are more deaths from abortions.
Awful people.

4. Remember when they claimed Soros was paying Clinton supporters?

Projection again.

5. And if you corrected propaganda about Clinton with facts you were a shill paid by David Brock.

We are all still waiting to be paid by David Brock for being Democrats.

6. Not really like spies, more like political Non-Governmental Organizations

There is a long history of propaganda organizations more or less supported by rich people and/or governments which engage in activities in other countries ranging from the legitimate to borderline shady to illegal to fomenting coups.
