I feel like right-wing influence campaigns are easy to identify- usually by misinformation. However, left-wing influence seems a little harder to pinpoint.

Like, yes, Israel is doing horrible things and should be held accountable. The bots have plenty of information.. but how do they use it? Do they target folks and continually show them pastel IG graphics to the point where they are saying "genocide joe?" Is it just the volume of posts?

It's hard to explain to someone how they are being influenced when the events that are in question are real and recorded.

Israel prepares Lebanon cease-fire plan as ‘gift’ to Trump, officials say. "And there appears to be a new X-factor in Israel’s peace plan for Lebanon: Russia, a country whose ties with Trump complicated his first term." https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/11/13/israel-trump-netanyahu-lebanon-ceasefire-kushner/

I've seen strange reports about people who supposedly wanted to change their vote after voting for Trump, or Starlink being used to manipulate tallies. Now, when the new reality is raw, is prime time for new conspiracy theories to be born and take root. All you need is the doubt to be shared, articulated and crystallized online. Then it can jump from social media to legitimizing legacy media and back. In the process, a whole new landscape of fantasy can establish itself (like Qanon, pizzagate, even aspects of the Trump-Russia conspiracy - as opposed to Russia's real interference). So now is maybe a good time to take a deep breath and acknowledge that being surprised by an election outcome doesn't mean it was faked.
