How fun is this. Democrats, you remember them? Russia used Facebook to “buy” the Election for Trump, yadda-yadda. It looks like they take lessons from their ideological brethren. While ranting about the Ruskies spending rubels on Facebook ads, the American Left was creating fake Russian accounts to influence the Alabama Senate Race.
Multiple reports detailed the Russian government-backed Internet Research Agency spent up to $100,000 on Facebook advertisements throughout their entire disinformation operation. As The Daily Caller News Foundation reported Wednesday, billionaire-backed Democrats “created more than a thousand Russian-language accounts that followed [Roy] Moore’s Twitter account overnight.”

The group of Democrats behind the “elaborate ‘false flag’ operation,” as described in an internal report obtained by The New York Times, also created fake conservative Facebook accounts for the purpose of convincing voters not to support Republican candidate Roy Moore.
There is a distinction with a difference. Russia’s $100K in a national election was a drop in a 40 billion dollar ad storm. Meaningless ripples no one even noticed until the collusion narrative became Media job one. The $100K Democrats spent in Alabama on Russian bots, however,

Feel free to link to this and share it everytime your liberal “freinds” go on a Russia, facebook influence peddling rant. That’s if they haven’t followed the advice of Soros backers or the Liberal media (if and where these things might be different) and “left” facebook because the machine told them too.
