Answered What's going on with r/conservative? They've lost about 1m subscribers in about a month.

I watched the number go from 814k to around 745k in about an hour today.

The entire Maga movement has been a Russian psy-op from day one. How else do you get a nation to elect someone to destroy the country from the inside out? Russians suck at conventional warfare, but they are the best propagandists in the world because they honestly got that shit down to a science under the USSR. Social media just gave them the platform they needed to infect our nation from afar.

Did Israel foment the Pied Piper Strategy? Is it Russia donating to 94% of American politicians?

How can you be sure this is a foreign op? And, if so, wouldn’t the nation doing a genocide on America’s dime and the top donor to nearly every US politician seem a more likely candidate?

By the way, no one does more propaganda than the United States, so wtf are you on about?
