should be drawn between hostile agitprop and honest discussion are assisted by the very confusion articles like this work so hard to create. Otherwise, imo anyway, hit-job articles meant to trigger and exacerbate wrongful anti-Democratic fears and prejudices would instead trigger a lot more protests and alerts.

Is an article a presentation of thoughtful, valid ideas or a delivery vehicle for anti-Democratic agitprop disguised as the former?
