This kind of bullshit worked the first time, why not try it again??
7 years ago there were at least some gay/lesbian people who actually bought into the nonsense that Trump was friendly to their cause.
This was all part of his larger misinformation campaign which was flooding various social media sites. The FBI has been warning us about this for years now but it seems like no really takes it seriously and everything thinks they will not be affected. Bad actors spreading propaganda was all over Reddit, and I have little doubt it is here on Lemmy too.
Those arguments never went away. Russia is working with the GOP to spread as much misinformation as before, and with election season ramping up, it is only going to get more intense.

These are all the exact same arguments from 2016.
