Just a thought.
What actual Russian interference we know about on social media and elsewhere, targeted both sides.
Obviously they see an advantage in our division.
It is not a stretch to suppose there are players in the game that see (or make) opportunities to divide.
Linking racists and supremacists etc, with republicans, Trump Voters, Tea Party, conservatives, all in one big basket of deplorables for the left to scream at, while the above rant back at the left AND at each other...
Well played.
And on the left we have old traditional Dems, commies, anarchists, all kinds of specialized evils in new alphabetical variety, socialists, minorities, and their desperate “power at all costs” leadership, all screaming at the right and at each other.
And Trump.
Coincidence or plan?
Bannon’s unfortunate idea alone to say Alt-Right, or careful guiding by agents of division?
I don’t know.
But in the midst of this Zoo, there still exists a freedom loving people, who are learning more about the weaponized government agencies that have been malevolently turned against them, and more recently, their elected President.
And we’re all facing a global deep state that thrives best in secret while working to keep everyone at everyone else’s throats. (plus don’t forget all the other governments and any weaponized agencies they may have.)
All of these evil interests have their agents (willing and unwilling), their media shills, their enforcers and fixers, their tools and their useful idiots.
How much would we know if Hillary had won?
Right now, we have a chance.
Right Now, the Motivated Self Interest of a Decreasingly Free People Demands a Little Less Pestle Pounding in the Division Mortar, and a Little More Stirring of the Melting Pot.
While our enemies continue trying to DIVIDE us into a sparking hot powder, it’s time for ALL of us, as a Liberty, Justice and Freedom starved people, to focus, laser-like, on melting the lies of those who would divide, distract and enslave us.
It’s time to work at revealing and spreading the truths that will help free all of us from their rule. (And it’s always time to be throwing out the swamp creatures and replacing them with honorable Americans.)
The great thing is, we don’t even need to like each other to do this, and we can get back to grinding on what we don’t like about each other once it’s done.
Very interesting post. I think you are onto something.
It’s interesting to go see the memes that the Russians (supposedly) used. They fit your theory a lot better than the idea they were trying to help Trump.
