A foreign government might try to create division in the US by spreading propaganda online, exploiting existing divisions and mistrust amount people of different socio-economic groups and political affiliations to the point where Americans think their fellow Americans are the enemy, that the press, schools, doctors and scientists, and government institutions and courts all cannot be trusted.
Then, they would just have to sit back and watch as we tear our country apart ourselves.
Don't forget using online propaganda to promote conspiracy theories to install inept (puppet) leadership, leading to the undermining of historic global institutions, international agreements, the rule of law and the scientific world view, and shifting the culture so it becomes almost acceptable to be racist, misogynistic and nationalist, undoing decades of progress in women's rights, civil rights, human rights and environmental action.
