I don't know anybody who is demoralized.

But then, I don't hang out with Republicans.

I do ,I hang out with many different types "politically" and all good people and the republican party and trump are in for a rude awakening.I am a republican ,I didn't vote trump ....or Hillary and nor Bernie but the people I know that did vote trump are sorry they did and while most will still not vote Hillary the feel the republicans party leaders are the true down fall of this country for even letting trump get this far and will vote for anyone but them now.Trump will be totally responsible for the downfall of the republican party.

I didn't even mention "three million illegal aliens voting in the presidential election", my point is that there was soviet subversion of our government, education, and media throughout the 20th century . Congratulations, and wake the hell up!

I don't think you or the op read the article. Not a word suggesting those sites are promoting 'pro-gun' messages. In fact, the trending hashtags from those so-called Russian bots are #guncontrolnow and #marchforourlives, both Pro gun control.

BTW - They're coming for 2018 as well. Get ready for a wave of pro-Trump BS all over Twitter, Facebook, and every message board they can find.

Russian bots flood Twitter with pro-gun messages after Florida shooting: report | TheHill
Russia would love for Americans to be disarmed.

Why? What kind of weapons does Russia think private citizens have that could overcome a trained military force with RPGs and drones with missiles? Putin is not stupid enough to try waging a ground war in the United States.

You dont really think your replies through much do you? The NRA is a great tool, they have deep political connections, and can be guaranteed to fund one side. Plus if they get caught at it-well...bonus! Because many will defend the NRA heavily. I honestly cant think of a better tool.
The biggest tool dividing us is our own media. The NRA is a grassroots organization supported by their membership. They are struggling but remain one of the premier civil rights organizations in this country.

CNN, NBC, NYT, WAPO, etc, have been working to tear this country apart for years, if not decades. They have gotten increasing rabid in the last 2 years.
