All the government needs to do to squelch a story is have the FBI reach out and say it might be Russian disinformation.
It’s the same story over and over. This is fascist stuff and the fact that there isn’t an independent media and that content creators such as Facebook and Twitter aren’t treated as such is dangerous. But so is having an uneducated populace that wants things divided based on characteristics rather than competence. And people don’t seem to have a problem with that.
