For the record, it's pretty well known for some years now that Russia pays people to go onto message boards and the like and canvas a pro-Putin message. This happens really often on Reddit, for example- you can particularly tell as posts on other random dictators never have a ton of the defense brigade jumping in.
Hillary Clinton has a superPAC doing "social media" too, for the record, and I'm sure someone is doing the same for Trump even Putin stuff aside. And I'm sure they were doing it already 4 years ago. It's just part of the game these days.
That said, it was also pretty clear to me that a lot of vitriol against Clinton during the Bernie phase of the primaries was really coming from Republicans.
Yes, I have a life. It's quite different from yours.
