Are you frustrated by Russia’s interference in the US election in 2016, in 2020? Are you expecting it in 2024? Are you concerned and maybe even raging?

So let’s discuss the US election meddling. Let’s visualize it.

Maybe on the outskirts of Moscow, maybe in some provincial Russian town, where dog poop bags are unheard of, where babushkas gossip like they’ve always done and certainly rage at the very thought that a babushka in another country can become President, you have a dude — let’s name him Ivan — who doesn’t shower very often, whose haircut is not very sophisticated, creating, late at night, fake pro-Trump anti-Hillary Clinton accounts on Facebook. He then posts something like this:

Before he posts another anti-Clinton post, he jerks off to a porn video on his computer.

Oh, and apparently Putin “authorizes” it.

So maybe before Ivan goes live with his post, he has to show the sketch to Putin who recommends how to improve the image. Perhaps Hilary’s horns need to be bigger. Or Jesus more handsome.

To be fair, you have hundreds of Ivans posting this shit on social media. An army of stinky Ivans helping Trump. This is an organized campaign after all.
