There were two studies into the IRA’s operations. They found that it had a global budget of $25 million and only 11% of it was election-related content. The vast majority was low quality bullshit that was literally like “Can’t stop masturbating? Follow Jesus and he’ll help you beat it.”

If you think every single person who has a different opinion from you is a Russian asset, you’re every bit as deranged as the worst QAnon cultist, and no one should ever take you seriously.
