Puppets on a String

Mueller told us the Russians want to cause division, discord, and disruption, right? They are planting their memes, and scattering their message, and we are slopping it up. We are like a bunch of puppets, dancing to all their memes. Yesterday, when the pandemic bill was announced, it was almost in unison. Every Facebook post had the same complaint: Why are we just getting $600 while all this money is going to Egypt and the Kennedy Center, etc. The same message spread like wildfire through social media. You know, I agree with part of the message: 2.3 trillion is way too much -- way too much. But, I cannot help but notice how, if the Russians were behind all the chatter on social media -- if they were planting it -- this is exactly what they would want. They would be seeking to further incite us to rebellion, and stir us up in anger. If they were writing a script for us, they would have written it even as it turned out. Yes, sometimes I wonder if we are but their puppets on a string.
