Russian Bots Meme | image tagged in russian bots meme | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
The meme itself was a map of America showing a hypothetical electoral college outcome for 2020, with a whole bunch of text overlaid on the map which said something to the effect of: "Don't bother voting, the election has already been decided."

Really fishy message so I called it out as either being a Russian bot or some poor American very far down the rabbit hole

Yes, some American idiots really do think this stuff, which makes it easy for Russian trolls to blend in, and yet sometimes there are telltale signs that set off my alarm bells.

And when I say "Russian bot" I don't mean to be exclusive. I'm sure China, Iran, maybe even North Korea have their own propaganda mills targeting Americans.
