Many of us social media enthusiasts encountered vast numbers of them, some subtle, some not so much... I'm at a loss to know what can be done about it given the power they exert.

As an expat in Norway, I can attest to myriad attacks and probes by Russia here, whether cyber, gps, or the Russian spy ship of the northern coast during last weekend.

And I to think the tally of vote totals VERY strange, given the excitement and engagement pre election and the long lines!

I've read elsewhere that shortly after the election, a ton of "X" users have gone dormant. The suspicion, which seems highly likely, is that these are the Putin trolls and bots. Mission accomplished.

Is this the “surprise" tRump said he had with Johnson? Did Musk and tRump and Putin engineer this and that's why tRump said he didn't need votes because he knew he wouldn't need them?

Absolutely. BUT it won’t change a thing. Some fines, maybe. Maybe not.

Since Putin is waging a new kind of war against America, we need to fight back. I’m not done fighting, I hope you are not done either!

Trump's government is gonna be all Russian assets: RFK Jr, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, Tulsi, Elon, etc. They all spew Russian propaganda lies 24/7.

We definitely should be. I cannot believe the gullibility frankly. Russia has had rooms full of hackers working non stop for a decade and that alone would be a formidable problem but combine that with a plethora of Russia-phile Republicans who are essentially traitors and above nothing , Melania who has probably been a Russian asset since she first "coincidentally" met Donald at a party, and a whole slew of tech moguls for whom Red wave was essential for a number of reasons: they need zero regulations and restraints (while tech watchdogs and experts are calling for more guardrails) on their products because lawsuits are already emerging due to loss of life, and there are many red flashing lights, indicating that there will be more and more problems from the generative and emergent tech they have unleashed. And yet it has not met their own benchmarks because it needs more data so it cannot be restrained because they need to continue to feed it more. ( That also incidentally involves outsourcing slave labor, and they do not want to see that regulated.). They do not want to see labor unions (cough: Elon, Bezos, Altman), they do not want environmental laws preventing them from firing up dirty coal, and even retired nuclear power plants because they have hit a wall with the power necessity for the technology or to be sued and have to pay lawyers when people get cancer or whatever else happens to the environment and the world. Plus, they would also like to have a mansion or a weirdo compound in the national park. Elon Musk does not want to be restricted with his Starlink system, especially now that scientist have discovered that the disintegrating satellites are damaging the ozone. And Peter Thiel well he is just a hard-core religious fanatic for the religion of libertarianism. He now has his man in the White House and if I were Donald, I would feel pretty nervous about that. But the point being that these people have millions of spare change to pay black hat, hackers, and to being an alliance with their good friend the Russians. The politico article that I posted earlier and another group of concerned cyber security early in 23 try to alert the DOJ to the problem of all the various back doors in the various states and counties. I have a friend here in Louisiana, who works as an election official and she says that with early voting, it would be possible for someone sneaky to change something that she calls "the cartridge". guess what Donald was urging everyone to do? Vote early instead of at the polls. and of course, for year we've been hearing about how the Democrats are cheaters and how they are going to try to steal the election. And Democrats were so busy defending their integrity and their ideals, that they did not realize that almost everything that comes out of his mouth is a threat or a confession he is projecting onto his victims, or his "marks" you might say. The ultimate gaslighting has been performed on an entire nation, and I think it was a collaboration and he is really only the front man. I will never believe the election was fair and Square. This has been a criminal enterprise.

You are right on the mark, Oliver. Trump & his fascist party ran the same play as they ran against Hillary in 2016, gaining a great deal from Putin's help. Only this time, the Putin/Trump GOP has refined its deception and propaganda, and were even more emboldened by executive immunity, a fascist friendly gift from a corrupt Supreme Court.

Trump has been a Putin asset for as long as he has had a political life. He is dangerous because of his psychopathy & his amorality, and Putin knew it, pre-recruitment. I've read many of the investigations of Trump & Russia, that he usually tries to obstruct, and listened to most of the leader issued warnings, by his former staff. They were spot on, Trump is America's greatest historical threat, ever.

The constant drone of subversive disinformation is what turned the election; by a voting public, too busy, too naive, too corrupt or too intellectually lazy, to understand the dangers that we all face.

Many of our fellow voters mistake Trump's cleverness, in all things corrupt, and his uninhibited disregard for loyalty to the nation and the rule of law, as some sort of genius, or for retribution for their perceived victimization. It is not, it reflects Trump's significant familiarity with corruption, organized crime methodology and a childlike capacity for pushing against behavioral boundaries, and Trump's persuasiveness. Instead of looking after democracy & human empathy, voters rejected the candidate that has the intelligence to go through law school with honors, became a DA, then became the Attorney General of the largest, in population, state, then became a successful Senator & finally VP.

Her resume requires a singularly superior & high mental faculty, particularly in a white nationalist society.

Rather than her, voters favored a [white misogynist] man with multiple sexual misconduct violations, multiple fraud convictions, a man that has obstructed justice, jury & witness tampered dozens of times, has been impeached twice and conspired to head up & implement an insurrection against the United States. A man with obvious IQ deficiencies, many points below his opponent; demeaning others is not an indicator of intelligence, in fact it's just the opposite.

People that voted for Donald Trump have to be ¹really corrupt, ²really, really stupid or ³they have to have been subverted(mind hacked) by Trump's domestic & Putin's outside propaganda/disinformation machines. For those Trump voters with the courage to look in the mirror, it's not difficult to understand; pick one. This election, beyond any doubt, will be recorded as America's largest mistake, ever. Repairing it, if even possible, is likely to come at an exceedingly high cost. No one is more satisfied with the election outcome than it's architect, Vladimir Putin.

Why doesn’t the department of Homeland Security act on this? Bush created it, is it why he didn’t endorse anyone?
