if you just want chaos or destabilization, you will support democrats winning elections
nobody could make a better job at causing chaos, just need to sit back and watch their divisive and moronic social justice warrior policy dismantle the country
i think the main motive to support trump was that putin wanted someone at least a bit russia friendly in the white house, who would give them some room in syria just to name one example
agreed, but now that trump is in the white house, amplifying the existing hyperpartisanship even further is the perfect way for the russians to paralyze the country politically, and with regard to everything russia in particular.
remember folks, even back in 2016, there were russian trolls and influencers stirring shit up in both directions.
the most likely scenario in my opinion: the russian operation in 2015 and early 2016 was set to bring about discord in america to weaken the country politically. when Putin realized that the rather russia-friendly trump had a real shot of winning the presidency and that the alternative would be the outspoken russia-hawk clinton, he directed his troll factories to skew their operations in favor of the GOP.
hence, we arrive at where we are now, but trump is not his puppet, there was no collusion, we dont really know for sure by how much the russian meddling influenced the vote, and we dont know how much the russian interference was driven by "I'd actually like a Pres. Trump" vs "I really dread a Pres. Clinton".
