Russia and China have a large group of hackers and dis-information agents at work trying to f/k with us by appealing to those who are gullible. If they see it on the internet, they believe it or at least want to believe it. We have the GOP controlled by the Trump Cult doing much the same by creating fake disputes, fabricating words like "woke", "truthiness", and others and then creating mischief in social media. Lee Atwater was the initial provocateur in the GOP (see article in NYorker https://tinyurl.com/bdz58ayt). No doubt he would be proud of the party's current political mischief.
