Mfers still believe in Russiagate despite everything... It's time to accept they're not Russian trolls, your country is just full of fascists.
Did something come out that disproves the existence of russian bots in social media?
Uh, actually yeah it did. Turns out they were just normal pro-russia conservatives. I thought the Cucker interview would have made that connection pretty obvious. They weren't paid to post that kind of propaganda, they were doing it willingly.
These things are not mutually exclusive. The fact that Russian propaganda bots swayed a large percentage of American republican fascists in no way debunks the bots. It just means that it was an effective propaganda campaign.
