You mean like a sudden spike in social media posts that encourages the idea that US citizens should consider seceding from the union?

Psyops like those? You mean exactly how that bullshit Brexit got sold to the British? That kind of shit?

I can’t tell if she’s a Russian plant, an extremely useful idiot or both. It takes a special type of hack to beat out a serial liar (Santos), underage human trafficker (Gaetz), and whatever Boebert is to become the worst human in Congress, but she does it.

I’m thinking mostly useful idiot. She is so set on being contrarian to anything someone left of her would do that she ends up trying to destroy her own country. I don’t see how calling for secession is allowable. She should be removed from any committees at least and removed from congress. She took an oath to defend the constitution and calling for this is the exact opposite

And it goes deeper than just social media. Fox news is entertaining the idea and pushing it on their viewers while CNN, WaPo and others are also giving it airtime by saying it's a bad idea. Responsible media outlets would give her antics as little attention as possible. It's like they haven't learned their lesson from the Trump era where they gave him coverage 24/7 leading up to the election.

At best they're just using her for clicks to make money but at worst they're complicit. In Russia, Putin funds his supporters and his opposition to destabilize any threats to his rule and create a smokescreen. Funding both sides of any issue can cripple a country. It's likely the biggest reason that Russia was cut off from financial institutions and the Swift system and their accounts were frozen. Makes it a lot harder to fund these extremists even if it doesn't ultimately stop them.
