    I just don’t know who that’s supposed to target. No one on the left(US left) believes or listens to him. The right is supposedly endearing to him so that just confuses them. Just comes across as either desperate AF or consolatory in the likelihood of Harrison taking office.

      Congratulations, you’re the target. We all are. His intention is cause chaos.

      He’s a crazy person.

      It’s purely to muddy the water. Much of disinformation relies on having just enough deniability so that those who have already taken the bait will continue to believe they are in the right. The real issue will be deprogramming those who have fallen for the disinformation.

      Tbh I think it’s probably just an attempt to throw a wrench in the works and misdirect the attention of gullible people. I can just about guarantee Trump will use this and start going off about how “Putin LOVES Harris”, even though it’s clearly nonsense.

        Well they know anything he says he wants, the other side will try to use as ammo. Say you want Trump, Dems freak out. Say you want Harris, right freaks out and calls her a communist or whatever. It’s just trolling bullshit.

      It’s probably just for him. He said it himself, he’s addicted to power, and this is just an attempt to flex by trolling the world stage at this point.

      The main goal of misinformation not to convince people of its truth, although that helps when it happens. It’s to create enough noise to drown out signal and make people disengage. That cognitive dissonance is exhausting, and the exhaustion in turn makes other misinformation and law/norm-breaking easier to proliferate.
