Samantha Bee had an interview with a few of the Russian trolls, they were doing what the American right wing trolls have been doing for over twenty years now, demonizing a woman because she wanted to bring healthcare to all Americans. OK, that's just a part of it, but when Hillary proposed healthcare reform the legions of money came out against her and the plot started. I think the democrats made a great mistake when they said they'd go high when elections are at the margins and hate motivated a large swatch of America. When the republicans screw the blind tools who voted for them by hurting Medicare, social security, the environment and heathcare I wonder will the working class wake up? The conservative rich in America support a network of trolls who hide in think tanks and media outlets and do a fantastic job of keeping their base looking in the other direction and blaming the other.
Right wing trolls are followers as I noted in my Emasculated American thread, the right winger could be a Russian troll it really wouldn't matter as the goal is similar, for the thoughtful and non-trolls excellent reads below.
