Russia already interfered with the 2016 election, so they disagree with you.

AI doesn’t have to be used as an autoprompter. Paid workers can still review their output or use them for prompting.

If I were Chinese, I might suspect the US intelligence committee enacting foreign influence. But locally, they want functioning government so they get paid.

Also, besides the over-the-top insults, note this guy’s account is new.

Unless you've got evidence that James Comey works for the FSB, I'm not sure how this miniscule ad buy sank Hillary ten points in the polls from October.

Well, you asked what I would do. I don't think it's rational for Russia to destabilize the US right now which is consistent with Putin's current stated position. Of course he could easily be lying, and he did support Trump in the past. It's possible that he's consistently pro-Trump, but it's also possible that his priorities changed based on changing circumstances, or that his perception of Trump changed after seeing him in office. It's impossible to know what's going on in his head, but it is possible to speculate based on what would benefit him and what he's said.

Convenient! That means that you can accuse anyone you disagree with of being a bot, regardless of evidence! I imagine that's much easier than engaging with conflicting ideas.

But locally, they want functioning government so they get paid.

A government doesn't have to be particularly well-functioning in order to afford to pay it's spies. Unless we're talking about total collapse and balkanization of the US, they're still getting paid. In the meantime, they're free to persue whatever agenda they want with no oversight, and even when they do get caught, not only are they not punished or stopped, but whoever exposed the crime becomes an enemy of the state and is hunted to the ends of the earth.

Also, besides the over-the-top insults, note this guy’s account is new.

My cashier at the grocery store was wearing reflective glasses (clearly this means they're a lizard person hiding their slit pupils), my barber asked me how my day was going (clearly he's an FBI agent collecting data about my life) and a person I disagreed with online had a new account (clearly a paid agent of a foreign government).

Tell me, how long have you had these sorts of beliefs?
