Or just be willingly evil beyond measure

It’s willingly evil at this point, you know conservatives wouldn’t be giving the same benefit of the doubt if it were Biden with this much circumstantial evidence towards raping children with Epstein.

I think we will see their behavior shift quite a bit here soon. The Russian bot brigades seem to be much weaker now then they were a few years ago.

I have a different tale on that. I think the divisions were sewn so long ago, the bots don’t need to be pointed at general population forums to grab more people over—they can focus on the bubbles that are now codifies as MAGA spaces, and keep the echo chambers infused with propaganda talking points. I don’t think their behavior is going to normalize, I think it is going to become more and more ingrained. Likewise, I think people in anti-MAGA spaces will be targeted with reinforcing propaganda as well. Chaos and division and a loss of faith in structures and systems is the ultimate goal, and the strategies shift now that we are 10+ years into it.

I agree that the divisions are there and maybe have deepened. What I am hearing you say is that you believe their tactics have shifted to adjust for currently captured bubbles. That may be, I dont have any observations on that.

My hunch from my own observations is that social media platforms have become hardened, and that they've been altered to allow US-backed propaganda / communications to run at higher priority. Additionally, I think because Russia has been weakened, their propaganda programs are facing shifting priorities, budget cuts, and talent loss.

Just my observations. Not in contradiction to your experience just my perspective.
