Those ads read like parodies of a Russian attempting to write English. Nearly every one has a grammatical error or a factual inaccuracy that is obvious after 2 seconds of thought. I particularly like "dynastic succession of the Clinton family in American politics breaches the core democratic principles laid out by our founding fathers", especially given that the son of one of our presidential founding fathers himself became president, and the presidencies of George HW Bush / George W Bush occurred during the lifetime of nearly everyone eligible to vote.

If those ads truly had any influence whatsoever, it suggests that the problem of democracy is far deeper than Russian interference.

You'll find plenty of that in good old home-grown American propaganda, on both far-left and far-right.


I don’t disagree
