That right there is a good question.
I’ll be honest, I don’t really care about internet memes on Facebook. It’s propaganda. How is that any different than Foreigners giving an opinion on TV? How many actors and actresses of Canadian and British backgrounds go out and stump for candidates? Is John Oliver a US Citizen (honestly don’t know), he did a 30 minutes segment on Drumpf (one of the funniest things I saw during the election cycle). How is any of that different? Some of the most outspoken people against Republicans aren’t even allowed to vote in our damn elections.
Do I care if the Russians try to interfere in our elections? Sure. Do I think they’ve been doing it since the Bolshevik revolution? 100% yes. If they got in and fvcked with voter roles and the like or changed votes or some other thing, then that’s a problem. Propaganda is expected and it’s an excuse for the left to not accept losing to someone as loathsome as Trump. We’ve interfered on a much grander scale in our own allies elections.
I’d like to know if France or the UK or Germany did as well? Do you think they did? Actually, I already know they did.
Agreed on propoganda. But that was the very least of their efforts.
We know that they hacked into, stole and released DNC emails right before the convention. That’s a level above propaganda in my mind.
We also know that Russian GRU officers hacked the websites of state election boards and stole information about 500,000 voters. They also hacked into computers of a company that supplied software used to verify voter registration information. Did they just stop after they got into these systems? What if they were able to invalidate a person’s voter registration? That would seem rather easy.
Those are the questions I have knowing who they were and what they were able to access.
The other question is what Americans either knowingly or unknowingly helped them out. Because I can guarantee they weren’t able to do what they did without a little help from this side.
