[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I’d like to know is how much of this culture is created and fed by Russian trolls. I have no doubt they are involved to some extent, because this culture is absolutely creating an angry, divisive country citizentry. [/quote]

Not necessarily Russian, but certainly some trolls who just seek stoke and divide. It’s unbelievably easy to do now, and hard for average people to tease out. [/quote]

It’s not just individual trolls.

The biggest problem is that rightwing billionaires find it useful to stoke that anger and division, because it gets people to vote for tax cuts for billionaires.
So there is a TON of money spent by people like the Koches (Daily Caller), Mercers (Breitbart), Wilkses (Daily Wire, Prager “U”), Singer, Anschutz, the Koch network.  Add in Murdoch who uses Fox as a propaganda weapon and loves Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham and Hannity...

Our country is being broken because oligarchs have found ways to spend money on media and propaganda to get what they want (tax cuts, union-busting, regulatory rollbacks).  Sure, that requires stoking hate and division.  But they don’t care about that - the billionaires don’t care about us or the country.[/quote]
