Let US collect the facts and draw our own conclusions.
Ignorant people can shape facts into whatever story they like.
Back on track here.... can we please all move on from this Russia thing? They may have "meddled" in the election. I keep feeling that someone is going to rip a mask off Putin and the guy underneath is going to say "I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!" This "meddling" is getting older than Coz's "But her emails!"
I prefer we didn't. Honestly, if it did occur, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump legitimately didn't know about it. But that doesn't mean it doesn't deserve looking into. There seems to be two main ways Russia could have interfered; 1) They hacked our networks and strategically leaked info on the Democratic party, and only the Democratic party. 2) They played a hell of a social media game.
I think the first one needs to be looked into. Maybe I'm getting a little conspiracy here, but the willingness of many of the high ranking GOP members (Ryan, McConnel, etc..) to fall in line time and time again suggests that their stuff may have been breached too, and acting otherwise would result in a dump of their emails or something.
The second one is fascinating to me, and maybe even more troubling than the first simply because it's so easy and widespread. I've seen many people on the right (not because they're right leaning, but because they're in a defensive position during these exchanges) laugh at the idea that Russia could have swayed an election with Facebook. Is it really that crazy of an idea? Companies invest billions of dollars a year strategically manipulating what we see on social media to subconsciously make us need/want shoes, phones, shirts, jewelry, and all kind of unnecessary crap. Getting someone to not only hate a political opponent, but nearly worship another (God Emperor) isn't all that farfetched. Spam bots and fake accounts are a very real thing on Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter. They artificially inflate articles time and time again, spreading blatant propaganda to generate additional exposure.
