DISINFO: A civil war is going on in the US

SUMMARY

In many places throughout the world Vladimir Putin is seen as a patron of conservative values. At present a civil war is going on in the US. Conservatives call liberals "liberal fascists", while liberals call conservatives "white supremacists" and "racists." Russia takes an indirect part in this civil war. 75 millions Trump voters are bullied, treated as unnecessary people, supremacists, and fascists. As the country of conservative views, Russia can become a model for part of Trump voters. Russia will make them not feel alone.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the US.

There is no basis to claim that civil war in the US is going on or that it is imminent.

See earlier disinformation cases alleging that 80 million of Americans are declared pariahs, that in contrast to Russia,western Europe is abandoning Christian roots, that the US is on the brink of civil war, and that that the systemic collapse of the American society is now obvious.

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform.
