Is the one about liberals hating country music on there? I thought that one was bizarre. Apparently if you play Reba McEntire in front of one of us we become enraged.

Nah, that one came from a real-live idiot, not a confirmed Russian account.

You make a good point. It is easier for me to believe the stupidity I've seen shared via social media is actually the work of trolls than believe my fellow Americans are so weird.

No, that's your garden variety American in 2017. They will believe anything they are told, this thread is proof.

I don't believe that. Why do you have such a low opinion of Americans?

Good question.
After seeing several posts it is clear that there is a method and texture to a Russian Troll Post.
1. The posts have weird lack of understanding of US history, governance, and culture. It would be interesting to catalog the statements made that reflect it.
2. A non-awareness of the values that Americans as people hold. Not that it can be generalized but there are certain statements made that is just weird and a bit off from what can be defined as American values.
3. The ideas expressed are stark. That poor should be made to undergo tubal-ligation by force to qualify for federal aid. How many Americans would really say that? But if you live in a country like Russia that would seem very logical.
