Russians have been using all of us to sow discord & destroy America

I would step back a bit from the edge here. I have no doubt that the Russians did do this, but it is a drop in the bucket compared to what US trolls and citizens are capable of doing all on their own initiative. Anyone spending time here or twitter or looking at comments on any posted partisan article will see that. There might be a foreign troll or too in all of that, but it is drowned out by the programmed progs on our side who need to be red-pilled.

Twitter is not going to corrupt your mind if it is open and attuned to verifiable facts and valid logical argument.

Once your antenna are sensitive you can detect even the faintest whiff of propaganda. In fact, you will find that your own mind has a part that is so well-trained that you can generate the propaganda yourself. But if you are self-aware you can use that. Let that part of your brain do its thing, project forward, and then apply your critical faculties to recognize it and you can anticipate what the other side will do, what position they will take on an issue long before they themselves espouse that view.

Re: 1409, I agree. I formatted my post rather poorly. It is the democrats that have been stirring up discontent for decades.
