So, who is them? Can you name them? Or are they sneaking around surreptitiously into TV studios, newsrooms and political conventions? What, EXACTLY, are the lies they are telling that cause us to attack each other?

I'm no fan of Russian oligarchy, but I don't see them as the biggest problem in the USA.

Them is the IRB plus two other St. Petersburg troll farms that were created by the (assumed) late Yevgeny Prigozhin and which are now run by RT. Sutton Smith explains how their bot herders work in https://www.taivideos.com/bot-farms-240703.mp4 . (She declined to do political work but selling your new brand of vodka works exactly the same way.)

To see the lies they tell, just spend some time in the spaces you detest. If you're woke, spend some time in the MAGA echo chambers. If you're MAGA, spend some time in the Woke echo chambers.
