      If it is the truth then it is not propaganda.

      Propaganda requires misinformation. Or at least hiding certain facts to fit a narrative.

        No, actually, it doesn’t. Propaganda is just “communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda”.

        It can be all verifiable facts, and it also doesn’t need to be bad either. The difference between a propaganda account and a non-propaganda account is mostly whether it is posting about one single issue on one single side all the time.

      Yeah, if he was some kind of troll account we gave them the easiest layup shot since the Afghan pull out. But several people have made the point that the American President effects the entire world. So I wouldn’t even be surprised to find a random European, Indian, etc, commenting on our election.

        For the record, I’m a European and I have commented on your election plenty of times (mostly because it’s the only thing on my news feed recently).
