Expect China to get involved in social media meddling and election engineering in the 2020 US election.

  So when I disagree with the Authoritarian left in 2020 I will be called a racist misogynist Nazi Chinese Bot instead of a racist misogynist Nazi Russian Bot? Or will I be a Russian Chinese Bot? In reality every nation attempts to meddle and influence every other nations elections to get leaders in those nations that are favorable to them. This has happened since the dawn of civilization to believe it is a new or modern activity simply because we have Facebook now is to ignore History. the US is one of the most prolific influencers of elections on the world stage having "peacefully" toppled more governments than any other nation in world history. This modern commentary on Russian bots, and now Chinese Bots is primary away for the Extreme ends of the political spectrum to rationalize away why their idea are unpopular and their arguments fall flat at convincing people Does Russia and China attempt to influence the elections... yes... as does every other nation. Should we care? Maybe, and we should be aware of it and monitor it but personally I am more concerned with Internal meddling by our own institutions than i am about Foreign Influence
