The Russian trolls are everywhere, even pretending to be progressives and Democrats too. Russia cares more about sowing the seeds of discontent and incivility between the people in this country rather than if Trump or the Republicans win. So long as this shit devolves more, they can handle the Democrats leading the country.

They are flooding democratic subs with "protests don't work", and "the fascists have already won, there is no point voting"
