#WalkAway has also now been connected to Kremlin-linked Russian bots, and it is now the seventh most popular Russia-influenced hashtag as of this writing, according to the website Hamilton 68, which tracks Russian influence on Twitter as part of the Alliance for Securing Democracy, an initiative of the nonpartisan German Marshall Fund. The purpose of this now-astroturf campaign is to manipulate public opinion by creating the illusion that this is a popular movement. In reality, #WalkAway has become pure propaganda, a psychological operation.

Republican operatives who want to stop the blue wave have various options, including efforts aimed at voter suppression, voter purges, racial gerrymandering, and, with the help of their Russian handlers, Twitter bots of the variety that helped bring victory to Trump. About 50,000 Russian bots tried to impact the 2016 presidential election, and Twitter suspended some 70 million questionable accounts in May and June. Interfering in the election may have worked in 2016, but in the 2018 midterms and the 2020 presidential election, voters of color and Democratic voters in general won't be fooled. Not this time. Too much is at stake: no less than the very future of American democracy.
In other words these people are nothing more than RATFUCKERS AKA REPUBLICON OPERATIVES.
