Conspiracy theories, fake videos & lies are mainstays of Russian propaganda to sow chaos/doubt, control information, maintain power. Fake voter fraud is now a coordinated STRATEGY by Trump and Republicans to steal an election. Today, it’s Florida, tomorrow? That’s the infection.
THIS exactly: Russian "meddling" is the culmination of a decades-long campaign of fake news & conspiracy theories to tear America apart. Now Americans have the infection & use Russia's propaganda playbook to tear each other apart. Quite the Soviet coup. nytimes.com/2018/11/12/opi…
Reupping Trump's Orwellian Rigged Election Playbook, my piece on his linguistic machinations. He & Florida Republicans are using the same propaganda tactics & language, an adaptation of Soviet/Russian disinformation tactics used to undermine our democracy euromaidanpress.com/2016/10/27/989…
We're living in Putin's Inception dream/nightmare. Shocking in 2016. Now just 2018 Republican election politics. Just like Russia, Trump/GOP attack the legitimacy of our democracy & demonize Dems, using conspiracy theories of voter fraud, illegal ballots rigged/stolen elections.
Trump used shocking "rigged election" BS & destabilizing Russian propaganda to propel himself to win 2016 election. Now delegitimizing democracy is a GOP strategy. Why is @marcorubio using wild conspiracy theories & demonizing Dems "stealing" Florida elections? Rehearsal for 2020 
@marcorubio Like defendants attack the "system" to sow distrust to deflect a jury from facts, Republicans & Trump inflame the public by making the counting of ALL THE VOTES somehow illegal, fraud, stealing an election. Democracy is illegal?? Delegitimizing elections=Orwellian, authoritarian
@marcorubio Republicans know they have a demographics problem. Their share of the electorate has been shrinking for yrs. Trump & Russia swooped in & pumped enough propaganda & chaos to swing a win in 2016. Now GOP seems to be realizing that's the ONLY way they win. Truly pathetic. #RIPGOP
