Let me guess, the majority of old people on Facebook saw it and immediately believed it? Because why wouldn’t they?

> The video was seen millions of times across social media but some viewers were suspicious: It featured a young Black woman who claimed Vice President Kamala Harris left her paralyzed in a hit-and-run accident in San Francisco 13 years ago.
> At a forum in early September, Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared to suggest jokingly that he would support Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming U.S. election.
> Microsoft's new report also touches on how a Chinese-linked influence actor has used short-form video to criticize Biden and Harris and to create anti-Trump content, suggesting it doesn't appear interested in supporting a particular candidate.
And morons still think it’s real. For the first time in their lives, they actually think they are “right” and do not want to let it go.

Not only will conservatives believe it’s true – spitting in the face of all facts to the contrary. But if recent history (recent as in the last few days) predicts future events, they’re probably going to be calling in bomb threats to San Fransisco elementary schools over it… That is the depth Fox news has dragged them down to.

Obviously. If there is a viral issue that benefits Trump in any way it’s obviously the fucking russians. How is it not more clear that they are our enemy and that Trump is not only a benefactor of their work, but a literal asset. We know that they are interfering. We know it. Period. Unless we address russia you can expect everything that damages Kamala harris of pro-democracy efforts in the USA to be attached to Russia. Come On.
What you can do, if you have the skills, is simply copy every troll farm output on Kamala, but replace with Trump. Distribute. Over and over and over again. Make none of it matter.
How hard can it be with AI now.

Putin just wanted to stir up excitement for the candidate he “hopes wins”

I see this as the biggest challenge in politics right now as battling this. Web browsers are going to need to become an AI detector in the future to protect people

It’s been proven to be false? Got it. How long before Musk and Trump share it?

I wish there was a way for Ukraine to take out russia’s internet. US social media would be pleasantly calm for a while.

Wonder if it relates in someway to the Springfield somehow. In the article it was talking about it and he didn’t wanna say, but they know who is doing it and it needs to stop. I wonder if it is all Republicans have a little puppet Russian friend.

It’s only going to get worse. Russia is desperate to get their clown dictator into power.

Remember when Russians were the enemy and we didn’t believe their propaganda? Those were better days. Now the same people that wanted to nuke them are believing everything they put out. Should we start a poll on when the US hits rock bottom? Nov. 6 is taken.

More proof Putin is supporting Harris.

Cue the Boomer in front of you at the store ranting about this BS. Social media not intelligently used will be the demise of us all.
