Your first paragraph sounds like it contains all the markings of a successful psyops campaign to be totally honest.

Whisper campaign to erode public trust and increase partisan divide while diverting attention from more important matters.

If it WAS interference by any nation state (Russia or not; uncovered or not) it seems to have been pretty successful right?

> all the markings of a successful psyops campaign

Internet commenters are much too quick to sling such tropes at others whom they disagree with. Please don't do that here.

Insinuations of astroturfing or shillage are not allowed on HN without evidence, and this goes beyond even that.

I could easily be mistaken, but I think that wasn't intended to be an accusation/insinuation?

> ... sounds like it contains ...

I interpreted that as referring to the "Russia/'hacked election' meme" having psyops-ish markings, not my paragraph. That seems to fit with the final comment about it appearing to be "pretty successful".
