#1 ... to post divisive propaganda on FB, Twitter...

"Divisive propaganda" - got it.

Extending tw's astute point, nothing posted by the trolls is more inflammatory and "divisive" than the half-decade or so of CONSTANT LIES about the actual incidence and extent of police brutality against black men and boys.

So let's see how the media/Woke/BLM logic works. According to them:

... it was not "divisive propaganda" when the BLM movement falsely claimed Michael Brown was murdered - and when nearly every Dem POTUS candidate repeated this lie.

... it was not "divisive propaganda" to claim that Trump, not Obama, initiated the policy of family separation and that Satan Mussolini-Trump was torturing poor innocent Guatemalan etc children, making them drink from toilets etc.

... it was not "divisive propaganda" to claim, for nearly THREE YEARS and in the face of all the hard indisputable evidence of escalation against and confrontation toward Russia, that Trump was an agent of the Russian government.

Nope. Not divisive at all. No propaganda here.

WARBM.

#6 Has anyone ever been persuaded to change their opinion by something they read on Twitter? I didn't think so. It is basically a way to spout off and make your voice heard among all the other voices saying stupid stuff.

#7 All the Russians are doing is echoing our own Woke idiots.
