Neither, they are actively working towards Russia’s goal just like they were paid to do, and they don’t seem to be pretending at all.

I think a lot of people are missing the next step of the plan. First, they push a bill that specifically says it is illegal for non citizens to vote. Assume the bill passes, because why wouldn’t it? You already have to be a citizen to vote. It’s all political theater, after all, so there is no need to pick a fight.
Then red states come through with a fucked up interpretation of the law that says felons are no longer U.S. citizens. Now it is illegal for felons to ever vote again. The law would be challenged, appealed, and eventually make its way to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, that is absolutely going to side with the “States right” to choose what happens to their felons.
Finally, they use selective enforcement of law combined with aggregate data from any number of sources to build felony cases specifically against political rivals. Then you have red states that can never go blue again.
This is all fascism 101.
I would imagine it would take a multi-level caste system, and generations of reinforcement combined with a prescribed dogmatic belief in processes (Think Warhammer 40k Adeptus Mechanicus).
Even then I dont think it would be a terribly agile organization and my guess is that it would react to external changes very very slowly as all the information would have to slowly filter up through the various castes.
I don’t know if I have ever laughed as hard at a skit as I did this one. Even seeing stills from this still makes me chuckle.
I always assumed Flagg was the son of the Crimson King. Though the argument could be made that the Crimson King is a metaphor for Satan.
I agree, and I once dated a cosmetologist.
