    “Free speech online is what enabled the Trump revolution in 2016,” the anonymous author wrote. “If the Internet had been as free in 2020 as it was four years before, Trump would have cruised to reelection.”

    Yeah, freedom of speech that we have in America, that Russians took advantage of to trick dumb assholes to vote for a fascist.

    And yes, if so many people didn’t smarten the fuck up the second time Trump would have cruised to re-election, and Russia would have declared another victory over the United States, and this treasonous fuck would have celebrated.

      Yes but also, I wanted to bring the concept of repeating the same lies. It drowns the truth and when you repeate the same lie, people start tobelieve it. Idk, just read like that when Putin took over Crimea. I don’t remember everything but it was basically repeating the lies.
