And many of these foreign trolls are right here on drudge.com.

"I know who you are!"

Luckily I'm not gay so I can't be influenced by foreign trolls. The most MAGA thing you can do these days is be a foreign troll pretending to be American. That's patriotism right there. That's commitment.

"You got a peek behind the curtain at just how much of the MAGA hatred is just Russian propaganda,"

Another sign that MAGA has reached that tipping point and is unravelling.

Don't worry they're on the left too. Just when you thought the Nigerian scammer couldn't get any craftier, now they're mining the socials for followers and paychecks

"Seeing all of these MAGA accounts get exposed as foreign actors trying to destroy the United States is a complete vindication of Democrats, like myself and many on here, who have been warning about this".

Yup

"Top MAGA Influencers Accidentally Unmasked as Foreign Trolls"

Yeah we've been saying this for ten years.

Remember when The White House asked social media to make this information public, and Republicans called it Censorship?
Republicans know these are foreign accounts intended to sway Americans.
Republicans don't care.

More from the cited article ...

... "This is easily one of the greatest days on this platform," wrote Democratic influencer Harry Sisson.

We have our own self admitted Chinese Communist Spy right here in the drudge.

A very committed Chinese Communist Spy. Committed to disinformation and promoting lies, half truths and chaos and division in America any way he can.

Interesting about 2/3 of trump supporters on this site are obviously foreign filth

@#2 ... Too funny. ...

I'm not going with "funny" for the nonce. For me, I'm more "concerned."

I view this as foreign adversaries using social media to propagate the "attack from within" end game.

In the past, I mentioned, and posted about, it as a tactic that Pres Putin, et al, seem to be using, often based upon some of the aliases I see participating here.

@#9 ... 'Dozens' reads the headline. ...

Which headline is your alias referring to?

I do not see the word "dozens" in either the headline here, or in the headline of the cited article.

True story. I'm only a SME in a few topics. Probably not the leading one in those subjects, but I like having a life.

Potemkin Villages are a thing.

Russia, like Israel, excels at Deception.

War is Fraud and Violence to the Limit.

Of course, the maga dips^*%s will continue to believe them anyway.

If they've shown anything it's that they don't care who does their "thinking" for them.
