It is well known that Russian disinformation campaigns go far beyond that. And frankly, you sound an awful lot like a Russian shill. Kinda hope that’s the case, cause the only other explanation I can fathom is sheer stupidity.
This country is so politically divided that no amount of Facebook memes is going to change a Democrat voter to a Republican or vice versa. Democrats have a history of propping up pieces of shit as candidates and then are shocked when people don’t support their pieces of shit based on them having a shitty history and then blame Russia.
Do you have a reference for a credible study? Since the youth who watches TikTok isn’t that numerous and doesn’t vote that much, how could that have such an influence?
Also how could Russia buy propaganda on Facebook without US approval? The US is doing regime changes all over the world. Why should they make such a Rooky mistake and hand over the presidency at home?
Russian use of social media to disseminate propaganda content was very broad. Facebook and Twitter were used, but also Reddit, Tumblr, Pinterest, Medium, YouTube, Vine, and Google+ (among other sites). Instagram was by far the most used platform, and one that largely remained out of the public eye until late 2018.
Advertisements bought … are estimated to have reached 10 million users. But many more Facebook users were contacted by accounts created by Russian actors. 470 Facebook accounts are known to have been created by Russians … Of those accounts six generated content that was shared at least 340 million times, … The most strident Internet promoters of Trump were paid Russian propagandists/trolls, …
In continued analysis … researchers found the most prominent methods of misinformation were ostensibly “organic posting, not advertisements”
Facebook originally denied that fake news on their platform had influenced the election and had insisted it was unaware of any Russian-financed advertisements but later admitted that about 126 million Americans may have seen posts published by Russia-based operatives.
There is more, but I think the 600+ sources in the wikipedia article do a better job than I ever will.
They don’t have as much influence as liberals like to believe they do, they just have a political party that is so inept in governing that they have to blame it on someone so they choose Russia. It’s the exact same techniques the government used during the 1950s Red scare, they convince the public that Russians are everywhere
