Among the Russian-bought ads, event-based posts became fairly frequent in 2016. The day after the election, an event called for an anti-Trump rally in Union Square even as another ad called for Trump supporters to rally outside Trump tower. In another instance, the ads promoted both a pro-Beyoncé and anti-Beyoncé event in New York City.
Getting ready for 2020, 3 years 364 days in advance? I think divisiveness was/is a goal all its own.

Russian bots (on Facebook RIGHT NOW)
I was just accused of being one on Twitter!

Thing I don't get is wouldn't it be more effective to hire actual people to postd? That way if responders call them a bot, they can tell them to sick their metallic dick. (Actually that's not what I did, but only because I thought of it too late.)
