I mean, sure, like a year ago but at this point I also don't trust what the government and mainstream media say.

Some feel special for being contrarian!
I'm not entirely sure why all of this is being blamed on Russian propaganda. To me, that seems like a lame excuse for the US getting itself into this mess.
In any case, there will certainly be no mysterious agents coming to rescue you from your self-imposed fascism. You'll have to do that yourselves, so I would strongly recommend that you stop assigning blame and finally do something—otherwise, you won't be able to post on Lemmy anymore because you'll be brought into line by the state—then you could complain about Russian conditions, if that were still possible.
The best propaganda takes advantage of flaws already present in a culture, it doesn't try to create new ones
This is an extension of the adage that the best lies contain elements of the truth.

I’m not entirely sure why all of this is being blamed on Russian propaganda.
Because liberals are nationalist American exceptionalists, so they need to find something to blame Americas problems on other than America itself
You don't know why because you are PROFOUNDLY uneducated about it or you're a Russian bot yourself (ps most bots are human slaves, not robots).
Here's a documentary from 2018 with McCain and Clinton: https://youtu.be/5umiMThrlsA
There's also the book American Kompromat by Unger that goes into SUBSTANTIAL detail for DECADES and shows how Russia has been accruing blackmail globally.
And then multiple protests globally (Romania, Georgia, Slovakia, Serbia) regarding online Russian interference plus many many memos including from our own government.

Russia has engaged in MASSIVE MASSIVE online warfare, including on Lemmy (eg, you, maybe). It's more effective than bullets and biowarfare in some ways. Idk how you can't see how big of a deal it is.

I love completely unsourced xenophobic conspiracy theories topped of with McCarthyist witch hunting

Uh huh. The ol’ ‘anyone who criticizes NATO proxy wars is a Russian stooge.’
As opposed to the old "only the Great Powers have agency" gambit, which is actual Russian propaganda. Heaven forbid countries other than the US, Russian and China be even conceived of being able to take actions on their own.
And what actions are those? Like partnering with the west to install a far-right regime?

Same statement from me, very different result. Death to fascists!
