And how do you propose they do that? Such an operation could employ botnets controlled by the Russian government, the posts would appear to be coming from US IP's on compromised machines... even your own. That's just the tip of the iceberg on how they could hide their tracks.

So even if there were Russian trolls, why would they come to this website of all places?

Keep dreaming, Waldo! 😂That's pretty funny. I don't think historians will agree.

I can tell you how they would operate because I have vast knowledge of the topic. You are talking about a state actor that has the resources to break into highly secured computer networks while leaving no traces of their actions, successfully faking accounts on websites that can not easily be detected is child's play to them.

By the way, Trump is the best president who is going to arrive during the last 75 years.... Sorry, but you're not one of us, you are a fake. Your Russian just does not cut it.
Signed,

I believe four or five ( I can think of couple more, but they usually never post in Politics forum.)
That's for the first part of the question, when it comes to the second part - no one can "stir things up" like you yourselves my dear Americans, be that "Libs" or "Repubs," help me Lord.
Russians are posting mostly in comments section of different media outlets, and their half-arsed English is usually quite recognizable, repetitive and predictable. So no, sorry to say it ain't "Russians" who are doing all the "stirring" around here, but you yourself and you are far more inventive at it too)))
