I wonder if she realizes the "we" regarding being propagandized by Russia refers to her and her fellow right wingers. The rest of us already knew what she's seeing because we didn't have easy paths to Russian propaganda
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 2w agoLoomer is currently in Kyiv “doing her own research”. She could probably have just posted the first six words of paragraph four, but I won’t be churlish. If the Right Wing Nut Influencersphere finally gets on board with Ukraine it’s a good thing.
