The media has tried to stigmatize the conservative political opposition to the left by characterizing any social media trend it doesn't like as being the work of Russian bots. But the Russian bot conspiracy is selectively reported. When the supposed Russian bots tweet about Republican subjects, then the media is on it. But when they tweet about International Women's Day, there are no stories about it.

But yet according to the Alliance for Securing Democracy, a popular media source for Russian bot tracking, International Women's Day is the top trending Russian bot hashtag now.

Of course International Women's Day originated with the International Socialist Women's Conferences and the Soviet Union. So it only makes sense that Russian bots would push this socialist agenda.

Either that or the bots inject their agendas into trending topics and all these big bot conspiracies are a means of delegitimizing the conservative opposition.
