    Hexbear users hate Biden with a passion and push the “both sides” envelope with fervor, so their message aligns with that of MAGA voters who want to dismantle the government. I don’t think Hexbear are really GOP advocates, I personally think they’re a small community that has been prodded along and mentored by Pro-CCP foreign agents, bots, and bad faith actors to create political divide and discord while also increasing support of the CCP and their immediate allies, but that’s all just armchair theorizing at this point.

        A lot of them unironically use a laughing Xi Jinping emoji, cheer for Chinese attacks on neighboring nations, and talk fondly about toppling the US Government.

        Maybe China doesn’t have to fund the operation for that to happen naturally, but I guarantee you China is funding similar operations all over social media.

        Check out their community man. They are pro-china and pro-russia before they are leftist. I’ve browsed a lot of that community, and you’re absolutely wrong that they’re “just communists”. There’s a lot more to it than that.

          Well as someone who quite likes them and am also a card-carrying party member I dunno what to tell you. I think you might have odd views on what Communists, or at least Marxist-Leninists believe.
